Summary

Percy Fawcett was a man obsessed. A fearless British explorer, he believed in the existence of a lost city deep in the Amazon rainforest—an ancient civilization he called Z. In 1925, he set out on what should have been his greatest discovery, venturing into the heart of the jungle with his son and a small expedition team. But then, the world heard nothing.
 
 
 
No letters. No distress signals. No bodies.
 
 
 
Fawcett and his team vanished without a trace. Theories have swirled for nearly a century. Did they succumb to disease? Were they attacked by hostile tribes? Or—more chillingly—did they find something so incredible that they never wanted to leave?
 
 
 
His story has inspired books, films, and endless speculation. But the ultimate question remains: What really happened to Percy Fawcett in the depths of the Amazon?

    From one of Mexico's most exciting young writers, a cosmopolitan and candid essay collection exploring life in cities across the world and reflecting on the transformative importance of literature in understanding ourselves 
     
     
     
    In ten intimate essays, Daniel Saldaña París explores the cities he has lived in, each one home to a new iteration of himself. In Mexico City he's a young poet eager to prove himself. In Montreal—an opioid addict desperate for relief. In Madrid—a lonely student seeking pleasure in grotesque extremes. These now diverging, now coalescing selves raise questions: Where can we find authenticity? How do we construct the stories that define us? What if our formative memories are closer to fiction than truth? 
     
     
     
    Saldaña París turns to literature and film, poetry and philosophy for answers. The result is a hybrid of memoir and criticism, "a sensory work, full of soundscapes, filth, planes, closed spaces, open vastness" (El País).

    Social justice has a rich and complex history, shaped by numerous social, political, and economic movements over centuries. Its roots can be traced back to the Enlightenment era, where philosophers like John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau introduced ideas of equality, individual rights, and the social contract. These concepts laid the groundwork for future social justice movements by emphasizing the inherent rights and dignity of every individual. 
      
    In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the abolition of slavery marked a significant milestone in the evolution of social justice. Abolitionists fought tirelessly to end the inhumane practice of slavery, advocating for the freedom and equal treatment of all people regardless of race. This movement not only aimed to abolish slavery but also to challenge the deeply entrenched racial hierarchies and discrimination that persisted even after slavery was formally ended. 
      
    The labor movements of the 19th and early 20th centuries further expanded the scope of social justice by addressing economic inequalities and workers' rights. These movements sought fair wages, safe working conditions, reasonable working hours, and the right to unionize. The struggle for labor rights highlighted the connection between economic justice and broader social equity, demonstrating that fair treatment in the workplace is essential for overall social justice.
