The action takes place around the year 1600, after the Spanish conquest of Guatemala has concluded. Released from the army, five Spaniards embark on a personal adventure: the search for the place where the two oceans unite underground beneath the Green Andes. With exuberant prose, Asturias creates a violent, exaggerated world full of enormous contrasts, in which the extraordinary symbiosis of mestizaje ultimately occurs.
