Paraguay - the name conjures up everything most exotic and extreme in South America. It's a place of hellish jungles, dictators, fraudsters and Nazis, utopian experiments, missionaries and lurid coups. It's not a place for the timid because there isn't even a guidebook. But Paraguay, as revealed in this outstanding new book, is amongst the most beautiful and captivating countries in the world. John Gimlette has written a brilliant evocation which captures Paraguay's originality, passion, quirkiness and contradictions. |
