Story
Fordlandia is a haunting, evocative novel, a mysterious, lyrical tale at whose core lies a tiny nugget of fact: In 1929, Henry Ford, presiding in flinty authority over his automobile empire, grew tired of the British monopoly on Brazilian rubber. So, with his signature hubris, Ford decided he would produce his own rubber, and set about colonizing the Amazon, ultimately investing millions and founding an entire city around his plantation. Surrounding this historical curiosity is a rich, captivating fable that explores the fundamental struggle between man and the natural world.

Story
A la manera de Conrad y Melville, este audiolibro nace con un mito: el sueño de Henry Ford de instalar, en 1929, una plantación de caucho en el Amazonas, en una de las zonas más hostiles del mundo. Invierte una fortuna y funda un pueblo -una fábula- llamada Fordlandia. Y a la distancia, desde la industriosa Detroit, dirige su quimera. Pero los que conducen la misión son un grupo de incapaces que día a día flaquean ante el avance de la selva. Cortejando el misterio radical de esa geografía, aparece Horacio, un hombre que llegó hasta allí para escapar de su pasado.
