“… a pink opera house
with its golden roof
and grandiose beauty, a bustling market
bulging
with all sorts of goods and of
course the people, who are some of the
kindest and most helpful we have met on
our world travels. And there
were these
Rubber Barons living in enormous wealth
and of very doubtful
repute...”
(Description of Manaus in the Amazones
in the late 19th
century)
In the 21st century
the new RubberBarons
live their active lives in doubtful wealth
but
enormous repute!! In Sweden.
