The Day of Creation
Opis
At Port-la-Nouvelle, on the parched terrain of central Africa, Dr. Mallory
watches as his clinic fails and dreams of discovering a third Nile that
will make the Sahara bloom. When there is a trickle on the Local airstrip,
and soon a river, the obsessed MaLLory claims it as his own creation.
Joined by Noon, a silent adolescent girl who as a child ran with the local
guerrillas; Professor Sanger, a documentary filmmaker with a fading
reputation; and Nora Warrender, the widow of a Rhodesian veterinary
surgeon, the remains of whose menagerie flourish exotically amid the
land's new fertility, Mallory sets out for the river's source.
