Green Mansions: A Romance of the Tropical Forest is a novel written by W. H. Hudson. The story is set in the lush forests of South America and follows the adventures of a young man named Abel who is seeking refuge from his troubled past. While exploring the forest, Abel meets a mysterious woman named Rima, who lives in a treehouse and is said to be the last surviving member of an ancient tribe. As Abel and Rima grow closer, they must navigate the dangers of the forest and the secrets of Rima’s past. The novel is a blend of romance, adventure, and naturalism, with vivid descriptions of the flora and fauna of the jungle. It is considered a classic of early 20th-century literature and has been adapted into several films and stage productions.But at length, one night, without thinking of Rima’s fearful end, it all at once occurred to me that the hated savage whose blood I had shed on the white savannah might have only been practicing his natural deceit when he told me that most pitiful story. If that were so--if he had been prepared with a fictitious account of her death to meet my questions--then Rima might still exist.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
