El Bosque de los Pigmeos

Alexander Cold sabe muy bien que su abuela Kate siempre anda en busca de una nueva aventura. Cuando la International Geographic le pide que escriba un art#237;culo sobre los primeros safaris africanos en elefantes, Kate, Alexander y Nadia -- junto con el equipo de fot#243;grafos de la revista -- deciden adentrarse en las ardientes planicies de Kenya. Sin embargo, no tardan en conocer a un misionario cat#243;lico que se acerca a ellos para preguntarles si han visto a sus compa#241;eros que, misteriosamente, han desaparecido. Kate, Alexander, Nadia y todo el equipo de la International Geographic deciden ayudarle. Contratan una mujer piloto de la loca-lidad que los lleva a las pantanosas junglas de Ngoub#233;. Ah#237; descubren una tribu de pigmeos y entran en un mundo que se revela feroz y sorprendente un mundo de corrupci#243;n, esclavitud y crueldad pero tambi#233;n de nobleza y magia.

Con la ayuda de los poderes m#225;gicos de sus animales tot#233;micos, Jaguar y #193;guila, Alexander y Nadia se lanzan en una espectacular lucha por restaurar la libertad de los pigmeos

El #250;ltimo tomo de la aclamada trilog#237;a de Isabel Allende narra las aventuras de Jaguar y #193;guila en una tierra ex#243;tica, poblada de esp#237;ritus y seres misteriosos y cuenta la evoluci#243;n de una extraordinaria amistad.



Editorial Reviews

Review

“With this series, Allende has freely set aside more literary concerns for plot-driven suspense and has succeeded admirably.” (Criticas )

“A dizzyingly fast and compelling read.” (San Francisco Chronicle )

“Packed with hair-raising near misses and vivid glimpses of Africa’s landscapes, tribal customs, and wildlife.” (Kirkus Reviews )

4.0 out of 5 stars Delightful story, September 2, 2005
By 
S. Marucci (Panama, Panama) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: El Bosque de los Pigmeos (Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)
This book is very enjoyable. The story is recommended for teens, and in fact, my son (11) read it, finished it and liked it!! Then I decided to read it myself and the story just captured me. The basic story is fiction, but mixed with real issues (environmental, political, etc.) that makes the book very interesting.

1.0 out of 5 stars Se le acabaron las baterias..., December 26, 2004
By 
PCH "Panama" (Panama City, Central America) - See all my reviews
This review is from: El Bosque de los Pigmeos (Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)
Parece que a Isabel se le han acabado las baterias...y la imaginacion. Nos quedamos todo el libro esperando que aparezcan los seres fantasticos y misteriosos. No es sino al final de la historia (pagina 270) cuando vemos a los miticos animales totemicos aparecer en accion, por unos minutos. Para compensar esta falta de emocion del libro, aparecen como en estampida el Lama y el Chaman de las primeras novelas. En esta ocasion el malo no tiene poderes impresionantes, es un malo comun y corriente...en resumen, el libro es totalmente aburrido y no se compara con los dos primeros. Si alguien se molesta porque he relatado los secretos de la novela en unas cuantas lineas, pues no lea los "reviews", para eso son...no desperdicie su tiempo con este libro.
