Publisher's Synopsis
The thoughts, ambitions, and experiences of a man raised in wartime middle-class England, pursuing his destiny in the tense but exciting post-war years and following his dreams to the heart of the Dark Continent. In telling the story of Frank Franklyn, Derek Annable paints a picture of the world as it used to be, not only in post-war society but in wider regions that were ten still barely touched by so-called progress but which maintained the spirit and outlook of warmer, less complicated cultures. N words and images, he evokes an atmosphere of the age and the joys and sorrows that it created; takes us through the tensions and intrigue of contemporary international politics and commerce, and then on an eventful journey into the natural world of Africa, where great surprises await Frank Franklyn.
