«La costa de los mosquitos» is the novel by American writer Paul Theroux, published by Folio in hardcover (382 pages, in Spanish).
Allie Fox, a nonconformist inventor, disillusioned with American society, moves his family to the Honduran jungle to found his utopia. The harshness of the environment and his own obsessions turn the dream into a nightmare. The story explores the encounter between cultures, the thirst for power, and the fragility of human ideals.
