Antonio José Bolívar Proaño vive en El Idilio, una remota aldea en la Amazonía ecuatoriana. Allí, aprende de los indios shuar a conocer la selva, respetar a los animales y a los indígenas. Un día, decide leer novelas de amor que le lleva el dentista Rubicundo Loachamín para distraerse en las noches solitarias. A través de estas historias, intenta alejarse de la estupidez de los forasteros que creen dominar la selva, pero no saben cómo enfrentarse a una fiera enloquecida por la muerte de sus crías. Esta novela, escrita en un lenguaje claro y preciso, narra las aventuras y emociones del viejo Bolívar Proaño, que difícilmente se olvidarán.
