Il figlio dell'esploratore

At dawn on July 10, 2014, twenty-seven-year-old Cody Dial, son of scientist and explorer Roman Dial, entered Corcovado National Park, a largely unexplored Costa Rican rainforest, a hideout for poachers and drug traffickers. He had a machete and a backpack with him; before leaving he sent an email to his father in which he explained that he was going on a four-day trek off-trail, outside of any marked trail. It was the last news the family received from Cody... With no further news from his son, Roman immediately left for Corcovado National Park, seeking information from anyone who might know anything, including traffickers, and constantly questioning his responsibility as a father and role model towards of a son determined to follow in his footsteps. The search lasted two years, two years in which hope gradually gave way to the certainty of only being able to find Cody's remains. Narrated as a detective story set in one of the wildest and most splendid places on the planet, this book is a moving journey of inner discovery to understand ourselves and the people we love most in the world, a dramatic and passionate tale in the tradition of In the Lands extreme
