Founded by the well-known Lieder-singer and Schubert authority, white-haired, pipe-smoking Reinhold von Warlich, London's new Schubert Society has met with extraordinary support from England's musical and social bigwigs. Patrons include two princesses, a sheaf of baronesses & countesses, illustrious scientists and world-renowned musicians.

A mixture of guidebook, adventure story, anthropological study, social & political commentary, covering a 2,000-mile trip through the jungles of Venezuela and Brazil, Journey to Manaos tells next to nothing about terrestrial magnetism.
