On the eve of World War II, a group of Brazilian adventurers reunites in the heart of the Amazon rainforest to investigate the legend of a mysterious lost city. Their search soon collides with the ambitions of Nazi spies pursuing the same secret. What begins as an archaeological expedition quickly turns into a high-stakes race involving espionage, hidden civilizations, underground labyrinths, Indigenous communities, and a powerful meteorite believed to possess extraordinary properties. As enemies and allies become trapped deep within the forest, survival depends on courage, ingenuity, and trust.

Written by Álvaro Cardoso Gomes and Milton M. Azevedo, The Lost City blends historical fiction, suspense, and adventure in a fast-paced narrative inspired by real fascinations of the early twentieth century, including lost civilizations, secret expeditions, and the growing tensions that would soon lead to global conflict. Set in 1939, the novel combines Nazi espionage, Amazonian mythology, and scientific intrigue, creating a story that keeps readers on edge from beginning to end.

Rogério Borges’s illustrations reinforce the atmosphere of mystery and discovery, while the richly imagined Amazon setting becomes a character in its own right. The novel also explores themes of cultural diversity, environmental preservation, friendship, and the clash between different worldviews. By combining the appeal of a classic adventure novel with historical and ecological elements, The Lost City offers an immersive journey into one of the world’s most fascinating landscapes.
