Amazone 99, is all together a book-object, a travel story, and a picture and sketch book.

116 pages, plain or arranged as folded pages, drive the reader into a daily exploration. With the passing days he faces a not well-known Brasil, simple and warm.

On the road from Rio Branco to Porto Velho, then on a boat to Manaus, then again on a bike to Boa Vista at the Venezuelan border, cities appear and large spaces outspread that translate 360° panoramics, or travelings (1,35 metre of jungle on 4 unfolded pages for the longest). Successions of vignettes re-create the daily atmosphere, while drawings provide warmth and a timless feeling.

7 chapters tell stories about these four cities and the three trips to reach each other.
The text is sharp and precise, based on notes taken on the spot during the trip, and completed with captions.
The book layout uses up the pictures, it’s all show and lights.
Pages to unfold maintain the reader’s curiosity and motivate to discover more.
Have a nice trip…
