Publisher's summary

En Manaos, perdidas en medio de la selva amazónica, se encuentran las explotaciones de caucho del argentino Sierra, un despiadado terrateniente que esclaviza a los indios y los somete al hambre y al látigo para aumentar los beneficios de su producción. Entre los esclavos se encuentran el Nordestino, que fue a parar allí por una deuda que nunca logrará pagar; el Gringo, un antiguo guardaespaldas de Sierra condenado a la esclavitud por acostarse con Claudia, la amante del patrón, y Ramiro Poco-poco, un indio auca recién llegado a la plantación. Cuando Sierra parece decidido a dejar a Claudia allí para satisfacer a los caucheros, lo insostenible de la situación determinará de estos tres hombres a rescatarla e intentar lo que hasta este momento ningún hombre ha logrado: huir.

Great adventure story

This is an adventure story revolving around the rubber trade in the Peruvian jungle. A great story of exploitation, greed, survival and piracy as the heroes escape in the inhospitable jungle. I’ve heard about the Rubber Barons - this is a story about the labor end of the business.

Buena aventura

Buena historia. me ha gustado. No me ha costado nada terminarla y me ha gustado mucho la información que presenta sobre el desafortunado comercio del caucho en el Amazonas. Un poco exageradas ciertas escenas pero, no le resta méritos a la historia y la aventura.
