This is a novel about relationships between people, about the relationship between man and the world around him, about the struggle between Nature and hunter-poachers. Against the backdrop of African landscapes incredibly vividly described by the author, the main characters undergo severe trials. In the mysterious world into which the hunters find themselves, a giant stone “book of Nature” appears. Each page is a real world. To the poachers who find themselves in it, Nature itself gives a chance to find light even in a soul as black as night. A fantastic, fascinating plot and deep philosophical reflections of the novel’s heroes will convince the reader of the need for a respectful attitude towards the nature around us.
