Where Tigers Are At Home by Jean-Marie Blas de Roblès
Set against the lush backdrop of Brazil's untamed wilderness, this intricate narrative weaves together the lives of diverse characters, each grappling with their own existential dilemmas. At its core is a French journalist, who, while translating the enigmatic 17th-century writings of a Jesuit priest, becomes entangled in a web of historical intrigue and personal discovery. The story deftly explores themes of colonialism, identity, and the relentless pursuit of truth, all while painting a vivid portrait of a land where the boundaries between reality and myth blur.
