Krátky popis
Wearily, I take the path to the river, there in the cool to fill my
being with the sounds of my sister-being, to refresh myself in the
modest scents of pigeonwood and mitzeerie, to let my gaze end in a
tangle of monkey ropes and fern arches and the slowly descending
leaves, and to find rest, all day long, all night long. A young
slave girl accompanies her owner on an expedition into the African
interior in search of a mythical city. In unfamiliar terrain, the
party gets lost.One by one, our narrator's companions disappear,
leaving her to take refuge in the hollow of a baobab tree. There,
she finds the space and will to reflect upon her life's journey,
telling her story to the boabab itself. This powerful fable,
translated from Wilma Stockenstroem's original Afrikaans by Nobel
Prize-winner J.M. Coetzee, is a remarkable portrait of dislocation
and empowerment. It is also a brilliant insight into Cotezee's
craft as a writer.
