About this product
Product Information
Published in 1924, José Eustasio Rivera's The Vortex follows the harrowing adventures of the young poet Arturo Cova and his lover Alicia as they elope and flee from Bogotá into the wild and woolly backcountry of Colombia. A major work of twentieth-century Latin American literature, The Vortex is both a denunciation of the sensational human-rights abuses that took place during the Amazonian rubber boom and one of the most famous literary renderings of the Amazonian rainforest.

Reviews
José Eustacio Rivera's dark and lyrical 1924 masterpiece about a big city poet who ventures into the Amazonian jungle in search of revenge, and instead discovers the horrifying truth about the rubber industry, is a book that operates on multiple levels as a work of art., With John Charles Chasteen's translation of The Vortex , Jos Eustasio Rivera's seminal novel about the geographical vastness and mystical power of the Amazonian jungle, and the heartless exploitation of its riches and its inhabitants, should garner new fans in the English-speaking world. Chasteen's restrained yet evocative lyricism succeeds in breathing vibrant new life to Rivera's depiction of the clash of two civilizations, the tragedy that ensued, and the repercussions that are felt to this day. This absorbing translation makes clear why The Vortex is as relevant today as it was when the novel was published almost 100 years ago., With John Charles Chasteen's translation of The Vortex , Jos Eustasio Rivera's seminal novel about the geographical vastness and mystical power of the Amazonian jungle, and the heartless exploitation of its riches and its inhabitants, should garner new fans in the English-speaking world.

This absorbing translation makes clear why The Vortex is as relevant today as it was when the novel was first published almost one hundred years ago., When in 1928 Jos Eustasio Rivera died in New York, he was intent on finding an American publisher to bring out his environmentalist novel The Vortex in English. Ironically, the environmentalist concerns he addressed are as timely as ever., When in 1928 Jos Eustasio Rivera died in New York, he was intent on finding an American publisher to bring out his environmentalist novel The Vortex in English. It has taken ninety years for his wish to be granted. Ironically, the environmentalist concerns he addressed are as timely as ever.
