  • "Eigentlich hatte der junge Mann nur eine kurze Reise nach Afrika machen wollen, aber dann war er neunzehn Jahre geblieben. Statt in Uppsala sein Jurastudium zu beenden, verfolgt er in Lusaka ehrgeizige Reformpläne. Doch schliesslich rät ihm der Mann, den er für seinen einzigen schwarzen Freund hält, für immer fortzugehen. Das 'Auge des Leoparden' ist ein spannender und nachdenklich stimmender Roman über jenen fremden und exotisch reizvollen Kontinent, der uns von 'Jenseits von Afrika' bis 'Nirgendwo in Afrika' verzaubert hat. Henning Mankells persönlicher Erfahrung verdanken wir erneut ein mitreissendes Buch. Henning Mankell, 1948 in Härjedalen, Schweden, geboren, lebt als Theaterregisseur und Autor abwechselnd in Schweden und in Maputo/Mosambik."

  • "Hans Olofson tragically lost both his best friend and his lover. Alone and adrift, his only desire is to fulfil his lover's dream and visit the grave of a missionary who survived alone in the hills of Northern Zambia. On reaching Africa, Olofson is captivated by its beauty, and an opportunity of employment tempts him to stay. Taking responsibility for the farm he manages, he battles with a hostile environment and a resistant workforce. As he descends into near mental collapse, it becomes clear that many years in a foreign land do not necessarily breed an understanding of its people, and that a few generations of white settlers cannot change a continent underpinned by myth and superstition."@en
  • "Desde la fría región sueca de Norrland, el joven Hans Olofson viaja a Zambia para visitar la tumba de un misionero legendario. La belleza de Zambia lo hechiza hasta el punto de permanecer en el país durante 18 años. Poco a poco la realidad africana le impone una visión de la vida distinta, mientras el racismo de los blancos y el odio de los negros va consumiéndole."

  • "Hans Olofson is the son of a Swedish lumberjack. His childhood was unsettled and ais adolescence was no easier as he lost both his best friend and his lover tragically. Alone and adrift, his only desire is to fulfil his lover's dream and visit the grave of a legendary missionary who survived alone in the remote hills of Zambia. On reaching Africa, Olofson is struck by its beauty and mystery. After fulfilling his quest, an opportunity of employment in the region tempts him to stay. Though dismayed by the attitude of the white population to their adopted country, he is interested enough to take up sole responsibility for the farm he manages. For almost two decades Hans Olofson battles with a hostile environment and a placid, but resistant workforce. Set in the 1970s and 1980s, The Eye of the Leopard explores the relationship between white farmers and their native workers."
