The story

Antonio Bolivar has lived most of his life in a small riverside hut in a remote spot in the Amazon basin, on his own after his wife had died soon after their arrival there. He reads voraciously, borrowing books from a young woman called Josefina, who works for the corrupt local mayor Luis Agalla. Agalla insists that Bolivar accompanies him with a group who start hunting a female jaguar which has been stalking and killing people near the village.
