First American edition of this very popular work in the United States published simultaneously in the UK as Junglemania: Exploring the Jungles for Science.“ The memoir was allegedly based on the author’s medical expeditions in Central Africa and Borneo at the behest of the Royal Society of Tropical medicine. However the rousing tale of adventure and lure of the jungle was quickly pulled in the UK due to many plagiarized passages from Owen Rutter’s 1924 novel set in Borneo “Passion Fruit.†The photographs also generated controversy as they mostly appeared to reproduce the popular RPPC’s sold to tourists in Borneo and the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine denied ever dispatching him even though he had been accepted as a member. Dr. Torrance was not to keep himself out of trouble as he was later arrested for murdering his third wife in Mexico while on honeymoon -- with a thermos flask.
