This is a rare early edition of the first novel by Guyanese writer Wilson Harris. It is the first in Harris's "Guyana Quartet" and is a canonical text in Caribbean literary studies. Set in sixteenth century, the novel tells of a group of men from different backgrounds making their way up a dangerous river within the jungles of Guiana. The party is led by a cruel second-generation European colonialist who is hunting for a woman who has run away from him. Over the course of the journey it becomes apparent that it is not the first time the men have tried to make their way up this river and that last time they attempted to traverse the river they were all drowned. The events are narrated in the first person by an entity identified simply as the "Dreamer."
