Arkady Fiedler (1894-1985) was a Polish writer, journalist and adventurer. He studied philosophy and natural science in Cracow and later in Poznań and Leipzig. He traveled widely, but the Guyanas, the Orinoco, and the Amazon became his special love; he visited them repeatedly, staying for months in the jungle. He wrote 32 books that have been translated into 23 languages and sold over 10 million copies. His most famous book, written in 1942, was Squadron 303 about the legendary Kościuszko Squadron fighting in the Battle of Britain; it sold over 1.5 million copies.

The White Jaguar

The White Jaguar is a beautiful tale of a strange and wonderful people in a strange and wonderful land. In 1726, a Virginian privateer was sunk in the Caribbean, and its only survivor, a Polish-Virginian running from the law, washed ashore on an uninhabited island. At first, he dreamed of nothing other than returning to his own civilization, but Fate had other plans. It put the Arawak Indians in his path, and in time, they became his adopted nation.

Spanish chronicles record the presence of a white warrior among the Arawaks and, as late as 1942, the Arawaks themselves told tales of their White Jaguar. This is his story based on the author's research and on his own experiences among the Arawaks of Guyana.
