"En 1874, el sueco Hans Bengler, tras abandonar sus estudios de medicina, decide viajar al Africa con la intencio n de encontrar un insecto que nadie haya descubierto hasta entonces y con el cual hacerse famoso. Despue s de un penoso viaje por el desierto de Kalahari, llega a una estacio n de comercio donde lo recibe otro sueco, llamado Wilhelm Andersson, que se dedica a la caza de elefantes. Una man ana, Andersson trae consigo a un nin o negro que, al parecer, se ha quedado hue rfano. Impulsivamente, Bengler lo adopta y, como adema s ya ha encontrado el ansiado escarabajo, decide regresar a Suecia con el nin o, al que le da el nombre de Daniel. Ya en la travesi a de vuelta, Bengler se topa con las primeras dificultades y prejuicios hacia el nin o. 'Sera s objeto de curiosidad, de desconfianza y, por desgracia, tambie n de malevolencia. La gente teme lo diferente. Y tu eres diferente, Daniel, ' trata de explicarle Bengler. Y en efecto, una vez en Suecia, la vida 'civilizada' va aniquilando poco a poco a Daniel, que se siente solo y traicionado y ansi a cada vez ma s volver a A frica."--Page 4 of cover.

Work Description

In the 1870s, Hans Bengler arrives in Cape Town from Sweden, driven by a singular desire: to discover an insect no one has seen before and name it after himself. But then he impulsively adopts a young San orphan, a boy he christens Daniel and brings with him back to Sweden--a quite different specimen than he first contemplated. Daniel is told to call Bengler "Father," taught to knock on doors and bow, and continually struggles to understand this strange new land of mud and snow that surrounds and seemingly entraps him. At the same time, he is haunted by visions of his murdered parents calling him home to Africa. Knowing that the only way home is by sea, he decides he must learn to walk on water if he is ever to reclaim his true place in the world.
