A man hated and loved both by his family and the local people, Roberto was known in the village as an enigma, a rake, a controversial boss, and a quick-tempered thug. It's said that he has destroyed the family land by mass-farming eucalyptus trees, and he's known to have killed a local boy in a fit of rage. Yet as Alberto delves into the rumours that obscure his father's death--was it natural causes, vengeance, murder, or self-sacrifice?--he finds the reputation at stake is his own.  In a breath-catching story of race and identity, rife with Chile's centuries-old tension between natives and local landowners, Mauricio Segura's Eucalyptus investigates the flashpoint of one village community in an expanding world.  \"Well-executed, with a cinematic quality and keen visual sense .Segura locates the political through the personal in a way that is uncommon.\"--Stephen Sparks, Green Apple Books  \"A solid novelist of infallible instincts.\"--L'Actualite\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55707310948726,"sku":"9781927428375","price":13.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_33587939.jpg?v=1748538236","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781927428375-eucalyptus","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
