«El río de la desolación: Un viaje por el Amazonas» is the travel book by Javier Reverte, published by Debolsillo in paperback (368 pages, in Spanish).
Javier Reverte navigates the Amazon from its sources in the Peruvian Andes to the Atlantic mouth in Brazil, traveling on the passenger boats that ply the river. His chronicle portrays the lives of the people on the banks, the harshness of poverty, the memory of the expeditions that dreamed of mastering the current and his own experience with malaria, which nearly cost him his life.
The book belongs to the Best Seller collection from Debolsillo and won the Cálamo Prize in 2004.
For readers of travel literature and exploration chronicles, interested in the Amazon and its stories.
Spanish novelist, travel writer and journalist (1944–2020)
