Publisher Description

Una de las grandes novelas americanas. La terrorifica magnitud de la selva amazonica es el telon de fondo de la unica novela del gran poeta y escritor colombiano Jose Eustasio Rivera, La voragine. Los personajes son tragados literalmente por la selva, pero ese retrato que hizo Rivera de esa naturaleza salvaje e indomable y de sus personajes, Arturo Cova que busca escapar de sus deberes sociales y de su amada Alicia, una mujer caprichosa, ya es parte de las mas brillantes creaciones de la literatura americana. Es ademas novela de crítica en especial a los explotadores de las grandes caucheras de la region, y por el lenguaje brillante en que esta escrita, esta obra ha sido catalogada como una de las grandes novelas americanas.

The terrifyng magnitude of the forest is the backdrop of a novel that is justly considered one of the greatest products of Latin-American literature. The characters are swallowed by the jungle, but the picture of wild and indomitable nature is in the center of a fascinating book.

    " The beauty of this book is that using an impressive journey through the southamerican jungle, the author consecutes to portray much about the human spirit. He takes us deep down the obscure territory that is the human soul. A great novel to read, specially when your uncertain about your own destiny. "
