About the Book

In his second novel, Ilko Minev takes his readers back to the Amazon of the 1960s, where Benjamim Melul, grandson of a once powerful rubber baron, pursues his dream of reviving the glory days of Brazil's early 20th-century rubber boom.
He and his wife Nina move to the family's abandoned plantation deep in the Amazon, near the border with Bolivia.
They are joined in their adventure by a young couple, Adriano and Maria, both denizens of the forest. After five disappointing years of hard toil and little profit, the two couples are preparing to return to civilization with their young families when tragedy strikes, leaving the green-eyed cabocla Maria alone and with three small children to care for.
Fighting to survive in one of the most isolated, inhospitable corners of the world, she eventually lands in the rough prospecting garimpos of the Amazon, where she first works for Dona Sandra, madam of a brothel, and then for Oleg Hazan, a Bulgarian immigrant determined to strike it rich mining for river gold.

Readers of Minev's first book, As Flowers Go, will recognize the protagonists Licco, Oleg, and David, who transport us even deeper into the magical Amazon on this second journey.


About the Author: ILKO MINEV A typical baby-boomer, Ilko Minev was born on May 3rd 1946 in Sofia, Bulgaria. He grew up during communism in Bulgaria. Minev realized that there was no future for him in his homeland. His faith brought him to Brazil, where he met the love of his life. He became a writer at the age of 66, after he retired from his business career in 2012. Apart from the fact that he has been a resident of Manaus, Brazil for 40 years and feels like a native Brazilian, he is still very influenced by his Jewish-Bulgarian roots. His novels address some historical events, which occurred in the writer's life, but their importance has never been well known by the general public. Through his literary works Minev transcends nationalities and is a true citizen of the world. The author has so many real stories to tell, that he barely needs relevant doses of fiction.
