29.10. Gaea Schoeters: Trophäe, 18.00 Uhr

In the end, the question remains: what is a human life worth?
Hunter, filthy rich, American and enthusiastic hunter, had almost everything before the run. Finally, his friend Van Heeren offers him a rhino to shoot.
Hunter travels to Africa, but his project to complete the Big Five is abruptly thwarted by poachers. Hunter seeks revenge when Van Heeren asks him if he has ever heard of the Big Six. At first, Hunter is shocked, but when he observes the young Africans hunting nimbly …
The depth of focus with which Gaea Schoeters describes the sounds and smells of nature allows you to experience sensually what leads you to the moral boundaries between right and wrong. A radical novel about a not-so-postcolonial world.
