HTML: At the turn of the 17th century, English writer and explorer Sir Walter Scott read an account of a great golden city in South America. He set out to explore the area, now Venezuela, and on his return he published The Discovery of Guiana. He is considered to have greatly exaggerated his findings, and his work contributed to the El Dorado legend. .Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Don't worry folks, Sir Walt is here to correct that horrible situation. Luckily he failed, unluckily there's nothing of interest in this short account of his failure. I was hoping at least for some craziness like in [b:The Travels of Sir John Mandeville|964338|The Travels of Sir John Mandeville|John Mandeville|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1311647809s/964338.jpg|984851] but there's only a passing mention of the Amazons and the headless Ewaipanoma.
He doesn't even claim to have any first hand knowledge of them, Mandeville's outrageous lies where at least mildly entertaining. ( )
