Download or read book The Golden Man written by Victor Wolfgang Von Hagen and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "El Dorado. The golden man. Those doughty adventurers who first began to probe the secrets of the New World were fascinated by whispers of treasure beyond belief somewhere in the mountains of Colombia. There, said the native Indians, lived a people "rich in gold" with a chief who once a year as part of a religious ritual covered himself with the precious metal's dust. So began an incredible saga of adventure - Spaniards, Germans, French, British, Dutch and Portuguese sprawled across an almost unknown continent in their search for a phantom. The New World replaced the Old World's mythology of unbounded riches in legendary places in the deserts and cities of the Mediterranean and Asia. From a golden man, El Dorado grew into a city of gold and drew untold numbers to death. It became the metaphor for the unattainable. Sir Walter Raleigh, England's hero, great adventurer and man of letters, died on the block because he, too, caught the fever of El Dorado. He and countless others failed to prove its existence was no legend. But they discovered a continent. Victor von Hagen, himself an explorer and traveller of no mean accomplishment, has followed their footsteps through jungles and country where disease and other hazards turned death into monotonous tragedy. He has no need to dramatise the people and events he has documented; his approach to the vast tapestry and his presentation results in the greatest real-life adventure stories yet told. The myths of the heroics of the questers for the Golden Fleece and the Holy Grail become minor narratives alongside von Hagen's brilliant and exciting account of the actual events and the men who precipitated them." -- dust jacket.

The submarine collided into the bottom of the iceberg, sending the ship into a plummet to the ocean floor, with James dragging behind. After a nightmarish decent through the black abyss, James counted down his last seconds of life, until he saw a red light glowing in the depths.
