In 1975, a fatal shoot-out between FBI agents and American Indians resulted in the deaths of two agents and the imprisonment of Leonard Peltier, a member of the American Indian Movement, for murder. Behind this event lies a complex historical struggle between American Indians and the U.S. government.

Set in the South American jungle, this is the story of the clash between two misplaced gringos, Martin Quarrier, who has come to convert the Indians to Christianity, and Lewis Moon, a mercenary who has been hired to kill them. Out of their struggle, Peter Matthiessen has created an electrifying moral thriller.

Und so geht es den kleinen und großen Lesern seit Generationen: Sie kriegen nicht genug von den Märchen um den Kartoffelkönig, dem Uhrenmännlein und all den anderen Wesen, die sich in und u...

Es ging ja nicht um Autorschaft. Autoren und Künstler waren ihm verhasst. Wer jetzt noch Subjekt spielte, war blöd oder eben bloß...
