A captivating new book from Wade Davis - winner of the Samuel
Johnson Prize for Into the Silence - that brings vividly to life
the story of the great Rio Magdalena, illuminating Colombia's
complex past, present, and future. For Wade Davis, Colombia was the
first country that captured his heart and gave him license to be
free. Here, he tells of his travels on the mighty Magdalena, the
river that made possible the nation. Along the way, he finds a
people who have overcome years of conflict precisely because of
their character, informed by an enduring spirit of place, and a
deep love of their remarkable land. Braiding together memoir,
history and journalism, Magdalena is at once an absorbing adventure
through a spectacular landscape and a kaleidoscopic picture of
Colombia as it stands on the verge of a new period of peace.
'Outstanding... Davis tells epic tales of passion, violence and
ambition with tremendous narrative verve' Sunday Times, Books of
the Year 'A wonderful evocation of a lifetime's travel in Colombia'
Spectator, Books of the Year
