Produktbeschreibung
The devil-tree of El Dorado: A novel explores the allure of the unknown through a dramatic journey into the heart of the South American jungle. The narrative is rooted in the obsession with Roraima, a place whispered about in legends and said to guard the secret of El Dorado. A stranger's sudden appearance brings both knowledge and urgency, compelling a small group of adventurers to act. The opening reveals a deep desire for discovery, not driven by greed but by the human need to confront mystery and prove its reality. As preparations for the expedition begin, the danger of the unknown looms both in the physical landscape and in the minds of those who doubt or fear what lies ahead. The atmosphere is one of suppressed apprehension cloaked in outward excitement. The expedition becomes less about treasure and more about overcoming the fear of ancient stories that refuse to die. At its core, the story reflects on the risk of pursuing visions of glory, the conflict between rationality and belief, and the psychological toll of entering spaces where civilization gives way to legend.
