Details

`The Sunbird` A very cleverly designed, impressive South African epic, consisting of two parts. In the first part, archaeologist Kazin from Johannesburg organizes an expedition in search of a beautiful, totally unknown ancient civilization that has been buried in South Africa for almost two thousand years. A number of ancient papyrus scrolls are discovered, which Kazin will try to decipher. And while doing this, he begins to dream about the contents of the scrolls... In the second part of the book, the author recounts the 'dream content' of these ancient documents in novel form. The main characters in this ancient drama are so cleverly portrayed that they are, as it were, the symbolic alter-egos of the main characters from the first part.
