  • ""When a disilllusioned architect arrives at a Congo leper village, he finds contentment and purpose as he works with the other patients.""
  • "Spisovatel charakterizuje sám tento svůj nejnovější román z r. 1961 jako "pokus vyjádřit dramaticky různé typy víry, poloviční víry i nevíry v takovém prostředí, stranou světové politiky a domáckých starostí, kde se tyto rozdíly ostře pociťují a kde docházejí vyjádření". Líčí duševní drama chrámového architekta, jenž znechucen světem, lidmi i sebou samým uteče do leproserie oddělené od světa konžským pralesem. Pokládá se za "vyhaslý případ" v práci i v lásce a právě tehdy, když v novém prostředí začíná nacházet pravý vztah k lidem i smysl života, umírá zasažen střelou bigotního katolíka."
  • "Querry is assigned to a leper colony on the upper reaches of the Congo, run by a doctor as lacking in faith as he is himself."
  • "De problemen van een r.k. architect die na een geestelijke crisis zichzelf poogt te hervinden in een melaatsenkolonie in de Congo, waar hij als een geheimzinnige vreemdeling toevallig terecht kwam."
  • "When Querry, a world-famous architect, finds he no longer enjoys life or takes pleasure in art he sets off on a voyage. Arriving anonymously at a leper colony in the Congo, he is diagnosed as the mental equivalent of a 'burnt-out case', a leper mutilated by disease and amputation. Querry slowly moves towards a cure, his mind getting clearer as he works for the colony. However, in the heat of the tropics, no relationship with a married woman, however blameless, will ever be taken as innocent. -- from http://www.goodreads.com (June 23, 2014)."
