+ Want to read

When European beliefs and customs meet those of the Guarani of 1297 South America 250 year ago, a struggle ensues and Ava-Tape, the tribal shaman's son and hope of the Jesuits, is forced to choose between the two traditions. He inspires his tribe as they leave behind all that is familiar and set out upon a quest in search of their mythical paradise, the Land Without Evil — a quest which culminates in the demise and ultimate triumph of an indigenous people.
