Summary

"Nogen må dø, når løven jager - men der er altid mad til dem, der følger ham."

Løven er Sean - helten i dette storslåede drama om de mænd, der erobrede Sydafrika i slutningen af det nittende århundrede. Sean og hans tvillingebror Garrick vokser op på faderens farm i Natal. Sean forsøger at leve op til faderens forventninger om at blive en succesfuld farmer og hårdtslående mand som sin far.

Det hårde farmerliv får dog en brat afslutning, da de blodige zulu-krige fejer hen over landet. Men det bliver også mulighedernes tid for brødrene, der i krigens virvar kan gøre sig håb om at erobre deres egne kvæghjorde. Men drømme bliver til mareridt i den grusomme masaskre ved Isandhlwana. Et nyt Sydafrika viser sig efter krigene, hvor guldfeberen raser i blodet på Sean, der finder store formuer og flytter til Johannesburg, hvor formuer skifter hænder henover natten.

"Når løven jager" er en stærk og realistisk, hensynsløs og åbenhjertig, men også eventyrlig roman fra pionerernes og zulukrigernes Afrika, guldfeberens og elfenbensjagtens Afrika. Den brændende kyst er første bind i serien om familien Courtney.

Wilbur Smith er født i det tidligere Rhodesia i 1933. Han har udgivet over 30 bøger, der i gennemsnit hver har solgt over tre millioner eksemplarer. Wilbur Smith er kendt for sin utroligt omhyggelige research og for sine medrivende naturbeskrivelser.

Critic reviews


Plenty of incident and colour.
-- The Observer

Pride of place goes to When the Lion Feeds because it is bigger, wider and more full of plot than all the others put together...
-- The Daily Telegraph

Wilbur Smith has built up his wide-screen adventure story with energy and shrewdness.
-- Sunday Times

Mr. Smith is a natural story-teller who moves confidently and often splendidly in his period and sustains a flow of convincing incident without repeating his excitement.
-- The Scotsman
