The Sea and the Jungle by H.M. Tomlinson, first published in 1912, is a seminal work of travel literature that combines firsthand maritime experience with rich, literary reflection. Documenting a voyage aboard the tramp steamer Capella to the Brazilian Amazon, Tomlinson offers more than a simple travelogue; his narrative weaves together themes of isolation, colonial encounter, and the sublime power of nature. Written in a highly evocative and poetic style, the book stands out for its introspective tone and philosophical depth, marking it as a key text in early 20th-century English travel writing.
