N2  - Having paid an exorbitant fee to the only bush pilot willing to fly into the largely uncharted reaches of the Amazonian rain forest, Gustaaf Verswijver boarded a light plane in a small town in Brazil and headed for the Mekranoti. Mekranoti: Living among the Painted People of the Amazon vividly describes Verswijver's dawning realizations about the people he had elected to study. The narrative, based on his journal, is illustrated by his own stunning and atmospheric photographs, chronicling three years of life - and death - in the tropical rain forest
