Details: From a major new talent in Latin American literature comes a tale of cultures, languages, spirits, and the natural world on the brink of transformation
"Of all the happy, hermitic lands, the Guayra was the jewel."
So begins this polyphonic wonder of a novel set in a 17th-century Jesuit mission founded within the wild South American subtropics by the mystical and intense Father Ruiz and his assistant Father Maceta. As the priests seek to convert the indigenous Guarani and unravel the many religious mysteries that surround them, the harmony of their community is abruptly upended by the arrival of Overa, who announces himself as the Son of God and younger brother of Jesus. But an even larger threat presents itself when word arrives that European marauders and slave hunters will soon descend upon the peaceful mission, compelling Overa and the priests to launch a mass exodus into the heart of the jungle.
Full of humor, passion, and terror, The Depopulation brilliantly evokes the moment when modernity's spark set fire to a still-magic world.
