Three male explorers stumble on a community of women living deep in the Amazon rainforest, in a society without class divisions, war, greed, lust or hatred. This is a material world that encompasses science and technology on one hand, and the beauty and simplicity of a pastoral life on the other. It is also a world that places human social values centre-stage.

Work Description
On the eve of WWI, three American male explorers stumble onto an all-female society somewhere in the distant reaches of the earth. Unable to believe their eyes, they promptly set out to find some men, convinced that since this is a civilized country--there must be men. So begins this sparkling utopian novel, a romp through a whole world "masculine" and "feminine", as on target today as when it was written 65 years ago.
