Synopsis
With the rescue of a Bushman from a horrible death, life at Hunter’s Drift changes dramatically for Francois.
His subsequent secret friendship with the outcast Xhabbo; the strange pilgrimage to the distant kraal of uLangalibalela, the greatest of all witchdoctors; and his extraordinary encounter and relationship with Luciana Monckton are interwoven with the magnificent and mysterious happenings in the African bush.
Highlighting the conflicts between the African and European cultures, the story gathers pace and culminates in a strangely-omened climax.

About the Author
The extraordinary life of Laurens van der Post is not easily capsulized. Author of of many books, farmer, soldier, prisoner of war, political adviser to British heads of state, educator, humanitarian, philosopher, explorer, and conservationist are titles that barely indicate the depth and breadth of this rare individual. Born in 1906 in the interior of southern Africa, he lived among the people who created the first blueprint for life on earth, becoming the principal chronicler of the Stone Age Kalahari Bushmen. He was also one of C.G. Jung's closest friends for sixteen years. Van der Post dedicated his life to teaching the meaning and value of indigenous cultures in the modern world, a world he felt is in danger of losing its spiritual identity to technology, prejudice, empty values, and a lack of understanding of the interconnectedness of all life on earth. Awarded a knighthood (the C.B.E.) in 1981, Sir Laurens died after his 90th birthday, in December, 1996.
He has written the following books:
A Far Off Place
The Heart of the Hunter
