According to Portuguese myth, Zeus turned Adamastor into the rocky cape of the South African peninsula. AndrΓ© Brink's parable suggests that white Europeans have punished native Africans in the same way. With this novel, Brink takes us to the heart of the relationships that define South Africa's
modern history.
"Peter Carey, Garcia Marquez, Solzhenitsyn: AndrΓ© Brink must be considered with that class of writer." βGuardian
