La Voragine
Author
José Eustasio Rivera
Summary
La Voragine is a novel about the life of a Colombian adventurer who spent his life chasing a man who had abused and/or killed many of his countrymen, including his wife.
The novel is very interesting because it deals with the rubber industry in bygone times, and reveals how this industry enslaved the people of the time, caused extensive damage to the environment, and abused the Native Americans.
I had a hard time reading the novel because I knew very little of the vocabulary used. I had to look up the meanings of many of the words I found in the book.
But it was worth it.
I liked it.
