About This Book

A young boy who becomes separated from his family wanders from an open plain into a succession of unfamiliar landscapes—savannah, dense shadowed forest, hills, and the sea—encountering wild animals, hostile groups, and curious communities. Episodes describe his struggles for food and shelter, moments of danger and kindness, and encounters with strange natural phenomena and subterranean or mist-clad peoples. The narrative tracks his physical journey and the gradual widening of his perception as he learns from each trial and marvel, moving from fear toward resilience and a deeper sense of his place within the natural world.
