About this product

Product Information

Henning Mankell is a worldwide phemen: his books have been translated into forty languages with more than 35 million copies in print, and both his critical acclaim and fan base only continue to grow. His new vel <i>Daniel</i> is an elegiac, unexpected story that only he could have told. In the 1870s, Hans Bengler arrives in Cape Town from Smaland, Sweden, driven by a singular desire: to discover an insect 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 kck on doors and bow, and continually struggles to understand this strange new land of mud and sw that surrounds and seemingly entraps him. At the same time, he is haunted by visions of his murdered parents calling him home to Africa. Kwing 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. Evocative and sometimes brutal, the vel takes Daniel through a series of tragedies and betrayals that culminate in a shocking act. Mankell tells this indelible story with a ruthless elegance all his own.
