Solo apparentemente Antonio José Bolivar Proaño è rimasto solo con i suoi anni. Nel suo cuore è racchiuso il tesoro delle esperienze vissute nella grande foresta insieme agli indios shuar. Soltanto un uomo come Antonio può perciò adempiere al compito di uccidere il "tigrillo", il felino che vuole vendicare sull'uomo lo sterminio dei suoi cuccioli. Canto d'amore dedicato all'ultimo luogo in cui la terra preserva la sua verginità, il romanzo di Sepùlveda ci porta, insieme all'ardore della denuncia, un'irriducibile capacità di sperare e sognare, come ancora succede ad Antonio quando legge i suoi diletti romanzi d'amore. Un audiolibro della durata di tre ore letto da Edoardo Siravo.
