The Vortex / Jose Eustasio Rivera ; translated fron the spanish by Earle K. James - First edition - 371 pages : Illustrations ; 21 cm
The escape from the city of a man driven away by the hipocresy and the farse of bourgeois society becomes an epic of brave but doubly defeated men: once by the hasheness of the natural world and twice by the perverse morality of the slaverdrivers of the Amazonic rubber plantations. At the same time intrepid and unway are these men. Spurred by futile dreams, they follow a path of mirages, the trailmarks of death lying in the bush. They ignore the terrible centripel force that drags them in; they ignore that they are tracking a dark and terrifying animal that lies hidden in the jungle.
