Live in the Jungle

This is one of the best novels I have ever read. The story and descriptions give you the full sensations of the experience of the journey to the land without evil. From inside the head of the young shaman Ava-Tape, you see, hear, and smell tribal South America. You share his confusions about the ways of the missionaries, a people who would "crucify the son of their god." I went through a wide range of emotions reading this book. From the joy of the dance and the thrill of young love to the sadness and horror of survival in a changing world, I was involved in the lives of the Guarani in this story. I felt like I was part of the family in the jungle. Excellent!

great book!

Here is a novel woven with facts that every person who believes they should go to remote peoples and change their ancient spritual traditions should read first. "Land Without Evil" gently transports the reader into a paradigm of the native healers/shaman. A way of life that more and more people are now longing to learn and experience for themselves. A story such as this pulls us to respect and honor what little is left of this way of life, when humans were open to more than the material world.

Masterful storytelling, virtually impossible to put down!

Pallamary uses a highly visual style to tell the story of a young shaman's stuggle with changing times. You can literally see in your mind's eye the luscious green forest; you can smell the rich scents of the humid air; you can hear the calls of the macaws and howlers echoing around you. The reader is truly consumed into this wonderful story, and becomes a part of the magic. This book is at once both a spiritual triumph and a saddening wake up call to the world. Tupa must be very proud.

A mystical roller coaster ride in the jungle!

A powerfully tragic yet hopeful story that takes the reader deep into the jungle and then gives a mystical roller coaster ride through the eyes of this books hero. The character becomes you because of this wonderful writers skills... your reality and his blurs together seamlessly. A must read, gotta have it kind of book that becomes glued to your hands until you finish it in a sweat. WOW!

You won't be disappointed . . . an exciting read

This is one of the finest novels about the extinction of species I have ever read. What distinguishes "Land Without Evil" from other ecological tales is that the species facing extinction is the human species, embodied in the Guarani people. Pallamary's fluid writing style makes this book a real page-turner, and his grasp of the social and historical processes which shaped the Americas during their early colonial period is unsurpassed. Highly recommended.
