Reseña del editor:

This is an account, introduced by Paul Therox, of the author's journey as a 63-year-old gringo through Brazil. During the course of this journey he reflects on his escape in middle age from his wealthy Pacific Northwest family to South America, where he became a Peace Corps worker in Ecuador. He then tells of how he bought a farm which he worked in partnership with a local friend. 12 years later his friend kicked him off the farm and Therox, stunned by the rejection embarked on a trip across Brazil. In candid prose, he describes Rio, Bahia, and the Amazon River, lined with one-room shacks and millionaires' rancheros. Gradually through his relationship with this extraordinary continent and with the people he meets along the way, he begins to make sense of his life.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
