Medium Trade Paperback. Condizione: Good. Medium Trade Paperback. 110 pages. *** PUBLISHING DETAILS: Heinemann, UK, 1980. *** CONDITION: This book is in good condition. More specifically: . Pages are reasonably tanned. *** ABOUT THIS BOOK: The novel begins when the main character Nebu, a Kikuyu tribe member, leaves his Mau Mau people to hunt down a white man who is traveling in the African bush. After catching up to the white man who has also brought his son along, Nebu throws a spear at the white man and kills him while simultaneously, the white man shoots at Nebu, injuring his side. After killing the white man, Nebu realizes that it was his old boss, an English planter. As a result of committing this crime, Nebu feels especially obligated to repay the boss, for having previously slept with his white wife. For this reason, he decides to safeguard the boss child, who is in truth, biologically his own, and return him to a white community. The decision to bring the child to a white community is a tough one for him, however, for he is himself very injured from the bullet, and also the child is incapable of walking alone, making the journey twice as difficult. As Nebu carries his son through the bush, the boy, who was raised with mixed emotions towards blacks and whites, continually taunts him. While they travel, they together become closely watched by the leopard, which plots to kill the two concurrently. Nebu s wound from the bullet continuously weakens him, making him more susceptible to attack from the leopard. At this point, the leopard attacks and brings a tragic ending to the twisted little cripple s life.[2] Before Nebu could spear the leopard, an English army lieutenant shoots at the leopard, killing it instantly. *** Quantity Available: 1.
