Detalii:

A spellbinding history of South America, as heard on hit podcast The Rest Is HistoryAbsolutely wonderful DOMINIC SANDBROOKA luscious, erudite romp ... a tour de force of literary mezcla ALICE ALBINIAAn unputdownable delight JON LEE ANDERSONA magnificent contribution to the Latin American canon MARIE ARANAIn this sweeping exploration of the continents forgotten past, Laurence Blair takes as his waymarks nine countries that cant be found on a map: vanished realms, half-imagined utopias and dismembered homelands. Looking beyond modern borders, he travels to each in turn - on foot and horseback, by rail and river - to weave an epic of survival, resistance and revolution.Blairs journey spans five centuries and thousands of miles, ranging from ancient Amazonian civilisations and a rebel Inca dynasty in the Peruvian jungle - via a Brazilian Wakanda that defied slavery, Bolivias landlocked navy and the Patagonian power that defeated the Spanish Empire - to the African freedom fighters who marched over the Andes from Argentina, and the Napoleon of the New World who led Paraguay to its ruin.
