Embrace of the Serpent

The epic story of the first contact, encounter, method, betrayal and, finally, life-transcending friendship, between Karamakate, an Amazonian shaman, final survivor of his individuals, and two scientists that, over the course of 40 years, journey via the Amazon in search of a sacred plant that may heal them. Impressed by the journals of the first explorers of the Colombian Amazon, Theodor Koch-Grunberg and Richard Evans Schultes.
