Gaea Schoeters: Trophäe

About this book

In the end, the question remains: What is a human life worth? Hunter, filthy rich, American and a keen hunter, has had almost everything before the barrel. Finally, his friend Van Heeren offers him a rhino to shoot. Hunter travels to Africa, but his project to complete the Big Five is abruptly thwarted by poachers. Hunter seeks revenge when Van Heeren asks him if he has ever heard of the Big Six. At first Hunter is shocked, but when he observes the young Africans hunting nimbly ... The depth of focus with which Gaea Schoeters describes the sounds and smells of nature allows us to experience sensually what leads us to the moral boundaries between right and wrong. A radical novel about a not-so-postcolonial world.
