Product Details


Product Description

From AudioFile

This South African epic of the late nineteenth century reads like an American Western. The vivid, macho yarn-spinning occasionally gives a gracious nod to more refined things. Steven Crossley takes it in stride. His performance leans toward restraint, rather than flamboyance, but is well focused and beautifully paced. His character voices aren't very subtle or varied, nor are the characters, but they speak with conviction. J.N. © AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Product Description

'Francois, how many men up at the face? ' 'Cave-in. ' Francois's voice was now hysterically shrill. 'Cave-in. ' He broke Sean's grip and raced away towards the lift station, the mud flying from his gumboots. His terror infected Sean and he ran a dozen paces after Francois before he stopped himself. For precious seconds he wavered with fear slithering round like a reptile in his stomach; go back to call the others and perhaps die with them or follow Francois and live. Into the wilds of Natal in the 1870s are born Sean and Garrick Courtney, the twin brothers who could not be more different. Fate, war and the jealous schemes of a woman are to drive them even further apart. But as history unfolds a continent is awakening. And on its horizon is the promise of fortune, adventure, destiny and love...'Wilbur Smith is one of those benchmarks against whom others are compared' The Times

5.0étoiles sur 5 His best ever?, Fév 19 1999
Par Patnjo@aol.com (Kaneohe, HI USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: WHEN THE LION FEEDS (Paperback)
This is the book that got me hooked on Wilbur Smith at age 12, an addiction that has not abated these twenty years hence. Smith describes South Africa, her people, her wildlife, and their combined struggles with a grace that is indelibly imprinted on your soul. If you haven't read this one yet, do so immediately but be prepared to lose a couple of days' sleep in the process.

5.0étoiles sur 5 The dark mysterious continent, Mai 15 2001
Par Un client
This review is from: WHEN THE LION FEEDS (Paperback)
When the Lion Feeds was truely a thrilling and realistic book. I grew up in South Africa and when I want to remember I read the wonderful stories Wilbur Smith has written. I have grown very fond of the Courtney Saga. Each character draws me into all the excitement that Africa has to offer. Sean Courtney who is the hero in this novel starts an historical journey through the African Bush. Almost all of Wilbur Smith's books show the beauty and mysteries that the the dark continent has to offer. When reading this novel I remember what it is like to appreciate such a marvelous landscape with all its treasures. Great reading filled with history and excitement.
