The mighty Amazon carries thousands of stories on its journey across Latin America. Legends of unimagined riches, accounts of adventurers, research travelers and industrialists, of, greed, gold rush and exploitation are inscribed to him.
Accompanied by his son, Deville captures the sounds and scents of the dazzling landscape, being carried back by the river to bygone times that shaped and wounded the continent. He follows the echoes of Alexander von Humboldt, the conquistadors Lope de Aguirre and Charles Darwin, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, through the Andes to the Galapagos Islands.
Deville takes us on a magnificently coloured literary carnival and into the labyrinthine rivers and tributaries of world history.
