The title makes you think it's going to be about Jesus, and it is, in a way. Two missionary couples go to Oriente province in Sao Paulo to rouse souls among different Indian tribes. The Papists are already there, and one of the priests has been murdered; these Indians already have gods. THe jungle changes the missionaries, for the worse.

This story is awesome; written by explorer Mathiesson. ( )

The story is interesting, but is ruined by the stereotypical personalities of the women in the story. The book starts out with an unnecessary scene with a prostituted women, which is annoying, and after that, every time a woman is described, she is some sort of male fantasy, all of them either women to be attracted to or repelled by. This lack of realistic women ruined the story for me. ( )

What an exuberant mess of a book! It galloped forward. So much happened. I mean, there is a sheer overwhelming flood of happenings in his book, assaulting the reader almost, at the pace of The Perils of Pauline, a series of "and-then, and then, and-then's"...

I loved that something so well written and so thoughtful and so philosophically rich could also be jam-packed with action. Ridiculous and great at the same time. ( )

The way to innocence, to the uncreated and to God leads on, not back, not back to the wolf or to the child, but ever further into sin, ever deeper into human life. -- Hermann Hesse

In the jungle, during one night in each month, the moths did not come to lanterns; through the black reaches of the outer night, so it was said, they flew toward the full moon.
