No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
Inaccessible and mysterious, the jungle is the soul of South America. But probing it with the knife blade of civilization are men determined to run a railroad through its very heart: the aging English engineer whose humanity has been replaced by cynicism and obsession; the young American doctor whose romantic illusions dissolve with the first scorpion in his shoe; the beautiful woman who loses her grand piano and her husband to the pitiless river, but finds bizarre passion in a camp of horrors. And with them comes a smoke-belching train called Mad Maria, whose destination is nowhere, whose absurd journey is a darkly comic drama of man's fractured visions and shattered ideals.
