A colorful trip up the Amazon River.

Patrick Deville and his son hit the road, or rather, the river, offering up a sumptuous literary carnival. The idea is to travel up the Amazon and cross the South American subcontinent. The trip is also a chance to experience first hand the climate change accelerated Bolsonaro's rise to power.
Amazonia is the seventh work in the author's vast literary project entitled "Abracadabra": a world tour in twelve books that began in 2004 with the publication of Pura Vida, followed by Equatoria (2009), Kampuchéa (2011), Peste & Choléra (2012), Viva (2014), and Taba-Taba (2017). This fall, Fenua will be the destination of his next work.
