A young adventurer heads for the headwaters of the Amazon and lands first at the rubber settlement of Remate de Males, the Culmination of Evils, whose social and political life he describes with grim humour. From there he joins expeditions into the forest, hunts in dugout canoes, falls desperately ill and stays among an Indian people he describes as cannibals.
