Amazonas (full title: Amazonas: Reise zum Río Yavarí) is a book by Till Lindemann and Joey Kelly. It was released on 25 November 2020. A re-release of the book was set to be released on 27 September 2024, which got pushed to 8 November 2024.

Information

The book was first released by National Geographic. After the allegations arose in 2023, National Geographic is not the publisher anymore. In 2024 a pre-order was made available for a reprint of the book, which is now being issued by Frederking & Thaler.

Both versions have a slightly different cover artwork. While the National Geographic version of the book has a more greyish tone to the picture, the Frederking & Thaler issue has it in more color. Also all publisher logos were replaced. Additionally, the first released picture of the book had the alternate title Im Fluss der Zeit on the cover.

In 2020, the website Thalia showed a picture of a page which included a poem in Spanish. This poem is missing in the released version of the book.
