The River Dies Quietly
Autor Karina Lickorish Quinnen Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 mai 2027
The Yurayaku River is the main source of the Amazon. It has been free-flowing for millions of years, but now it is threatened, at the centre of a corruption network that spans continents.
The River Dies Quietly tells the story of the river; of the people, plants and animals that rely on it; and of the Donati-Flores family who find themselves tangled in the dangerous fight to protect it.
This is a sweeping epic spanning global corruption, corporate greed, the decimation of the planet's natural resources and the systematic murder of the indigenous people trying to protect them.
