The search for gold and for the mythical El Dorado gripped the imagination of the conquistadors from the beginning of the sixteenth century. Crossing over the Andes, they explored the unknown eastern forests and jungles, launching expeditions that were often disastrous and always disappointing. As the range of exploration expanded, El Dorado retreated, always just beyond the horizon. The last goal of these explorations was the land of the Mojos, a land located in the upper Amazon basin and which lies many months of the year submerged under water. It is a mysterious land and, as legend had it, inhabited by a people rich in gold and precious stones. Yet all the Spaniards found – as narrated in these compelling pages – was a limitless swamp, sparsely inhabited by a small number of people and so ill suited to usual system of productive forced labor. It was the Jesuits instead who established here a network of missions second in size and population only to that or Paraguay and so went in search of souls rather than gold.

"The skill with which [Slater] combines various levels and modalities of narrative, utilizing her personal experience as a colorful unifying thread, is truly remarkable."—Antonio Candido, author of Antonio Candido: On Literature and Society (Howard S. Becker, editor) "A very important book, that quite gracefully, elegantly, and persuasively moves beyond the usual 'myth and history' format to put at its center stories about the Amazon and the people who tell them. Entangled Edens persuasively argues that the Amazon can only be grasped, understood, and come to terms with through its myths and stories. It addresses a very real failing of modern environmentalism, which for all its virtues, tends to dehumanize and metaphorically depopulate, when it does not villainize, populations that do share its concerns or share them in very different ways. Instead of forcing us to choose between land and people, Slater uses the stories and the people who tell them to rethink human relations with nature and each other."—Richard White, author of The Organic Machine: The Remaking of the Columbia River "Elegant, erudite, profoundly serious, Entangled Edens is a source of inspiration and knowledge for the reader interested in the Amazon. Without the cultural tradition and the life experience of Amazonia’s people, any analysis of the Amazon risks becoming inconsequential or opportunistic. This is one of the powerful messages of this important reflection on the Amazon, whose greatest riches are ultimately its people. Candace Slater has written a book that will last."—Milton Hatoum, author of The Tree of the Seventh Heaven(1994) and The Brothers (2002)

La conquista de América fue un viaje hacia lo desconocido, en el camino aparecieron numerosas leyendas que arrastraron a hombres valientes y ambiciosos unas veces a la gloria y otras a la muerte. El hombre tiende siempre a inventar utopías y a perseguir quimeras, ya desde la antigüedad territorios como la Atlántida o las Islas Afortunadas, habían sido visitadas por viajeros que traían descripciones de animales increíbles y tesoros infinitos, otro tanto pasaba con regiones como la India de la que se contaban también numerosas leyendas fantásticas que fueron confirmadas, en algunos casos, por hombres que estuvieron allí, las tropas de Alejandro Magno por ejemplo. La leyenda de El Dorado y otros mitos del descubrimiento de América nos traslada ese impulso humano que inventa territorios y los busca incansablemente, a través de un riguroso análisis histórico de las expediciones que se lanzaron a lo desconocido en busca de la gloria. Christian Kupchik arranca su libro exponiendo brevemente las utopías que han existido en la antigüedad, desde las crónicas grecorromanas hasta las descripciones bíblicas, con el objetivo de cotejar cómo esas leyendas se trasladan a la conquista de América. La fuente de la eterna juventud, las amazonas, las siete ciudades encantadas, los gigantes de la Patagonia, los caribes o El Dorado, tienen sus correspondientes leyendas antiguas o medievales. Desde ahí, nos detallará el autor el origen de la leyenda de El Dorado, basado en un ritual de los indios Chibchas, en Colombia, que consistía en cubrir a su príncipe de oro y arrojarlo a la laguna Guatavita mientras los caciques lanzaban oro y esmeraldas para apaciguar al dragón que vivía en dicha laguna. Este ritual dio origen a una fiebre del oro de la que participarían los banqueros de la casa Welter, Diego de Orgaz o Diego de Quesada que llegará a la laguna y volverá con 250.000 pesos de oro más pero con 2.500 hombres menos en su expedición.
