CHRISTOPHER HOPE - Kruger's Alp

Leicester, Abacus, 1985. 1st Abacus Edition, Binding: Softcover, Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 0349117152 Paperback Kruger's Alp is an apocalyptic dream of South Africa past, present and future. It tells the story of priestly renegade Theodore Blanchaille and his search for the legendary gold spirited away by President Kruger to found an earthly paradise. In his wanderings from pulpit to black township, from Johannesburg's fortress prison to Soho underworld, our pilgrim undertakes a bitterly funny odyssey of revelation, betrayal and disillusion which leads him finally to his antispectic and joyless goal, Kruger's Alp itself.
