In Bushveld and Desert: A Game Ranger's Life

In February 1994 it made headline news: a young game ranger from the Kruger National Park was attacked by two crocodiles and lost his left arm. For Christiaan Bakkes, recklessness and an insatiable lust for adventure led to tragedy. Writing about his experiences a unique writer's voice was born - a South African Hemingway. He published three collections of wilderness stories, of which a choice selection is offered here, as well as two novels.
