I read this as part of a larger collector's edition book. No wonder I got through it fast! It's only 130 pages. Fun adventure book bringing me back to childhood.
I felt the need to get ready for the new movie.
Reading the novel adaptation brought me back to that high school vacation week when I went to the dollar theater every day to see the original movie. Reading the book, I felt the sensations that I still get when I watch the movie.
One situation that I am glad was cut fromt he original movie - Marion's attraction to Belloq. YUCK!

El profesor Jones, más conocido como Indiana, un joven y valiente arqueólogo, escapa por poco de un templo en Perú tras las peligrosas argucias de un arqueólogo rival sin escrúpulos llamado Belloq. De vuelta a los Estados Unidos, es contactado por representantes del Ejército para que les ayude con un telegrama alemán interceptado que habla de unas excavaciones en Egipto. Indiana Jones reconoce los nombres del mensaje como relativos al Arca de la Alianza, y el mayor experto en ella es el profesor Ravenwood, con cuya hija, Marion, tuvo una relación en el pasado. Libro basado en el guión de la película homónima.
