Henderson the Rain King

Boekbeoordeling

Meer over het boek

Henderson is a rich hard-drinking middle-aged American tycoon. On an impulse he walks out of his marriage - to 'darkest Africa.' But this is not so much the Africa we know from the foreign correspondents as a mysterious land of myth and magic. How - in a fantastic ceremonial trial of strength - he rises to the rank of rain-maker to a primitive tribe and becomes right-hand man to a local chief is an extravagantly funny and wildly energetic story - Saul Bellow, in fact.
