Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Translated by Mara Faye Lethem, this is a gripping adventure into the furthest reaches of the human imagination. Set in 1914, it follows Garvey, a bedraggled British manservant who emerges from the Congo jungle, the lone survivor of an ill-fated mining expedition. For fans of "Heart Of Darkness", "King Solomon's Mines" and "Lost", it's from the author of the critically acclaimed novel "Cold Skin".
