A novel which links the simplicity of "The Alquimist" with the depth of "Heart of Darkness".

From the west coast of Mexico to Peru, or along the Amazon river and crossing the Atlantic till the North Sea, it tells the unique story of a man and his son. They are looking for a dark and painful truth. It is a plea for integrity and a chronicle of the terrible struggle to obtain it. It is, at the same time, a tale of adventures and travels in which it upturns the concept of evil; there is no true penitence without a true punishment.
