On the advice of a missionary, Corto heads for Venice, for that is where the clues leading to Eldorado are hidden. But in this series of European adventures, while wandering through France, Italy, Great Britain, and Ireland, Corto will find nothing but the horrors of World War I.<\/em><\/p>\n

Horrors mitigated by a journey amidst the magic atmosphere of Stonehenge; by the seductive voice of an actress; and by the reappearance of an old friend who, like a memory, resurfaces from that salty sea where everything began.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>
