The Mountain That Eats Men

'Burning with a quiet power and rage, The Mountain that Eats Men will move you to tears and to anger.'
Mark Mann, author of The Gringo Trail

'Izagirre's narrative of characters eking out a living amidst what, for many, ultimately became silver-lined tombs is deft, admirable, and haunting.'
Kim MacQuarrie, author of Life and Death In the Andes

'With echoes of Galeano's political ire and Salgado's immersive rawness, Izagirre has produced a gut-puncher of a book.'
Oliver Balch, author of Viva South America!

'Extremely well written ... uses what appears to be a small, personal story to tell a much wider, more universal one... Like Kapuscinski, he finds the drop of water that reflects everything around it.'
Martín Caparrós, El País

'[Shares] the spirit of Eduardo Galeano... but Izagirre gets closer to the ground.'
Ricardo Martínez Llorca, Culturamas
