A composer and his mistress leave New York to travel to the upper reaches of a South American river to collect primitive musical instruments. As they enter into the deepest recesses of the jungle, they also seem to travel back in time until they reach a village untouched by history. This classic magic-realist novel was an important influence on Gabriel Garca Marquez.
