In a small gallery in Florence, a Peruvian writer happens upon an exhibition of photographs from the Amazon jungle.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Jacket by Andrzej Klimowski (illustrator). 1st Edition. First UK edition, first impression. Some edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners slightly rubbed and bruised, slight lean, not price clipped (£12.99), no inscriptions, internally clean and tight, overall a vg+ copy. 246pp. A visitor from Peru, happening upon an exhibition of photographs from the Amazon jungle in an obscure Florentine picture gallery, finds his attention drawn to a picture of a tribal storyteller seated among a circle of Michiguenga Indians. There is something odd about the storyteller. He is too light skinned to be an Indian. As the visitor stares at the photograph, it dawns on him that he knows this man. The storyteller is his long lost friend Saul Zuratas, his classmate from university who was thought to have disappeared in Israel. A brilliant and compelling study of the world of the primitive and its place in our own modern lives. Seller Inventory # 006532
