It is P.J. Haasbroek's fifth collection and appeared more than twenty years after his previous one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fourteen stories deal with hunting and violence, set on farms, during hunts and in war, in Africa and Europe. They examine human vulnerability and the darker side of the psyche. The perspective is strongly masculine but tempered by empathy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn publication, reviewers described the collection as a probing self-examination of humanity's most brutal acts, and as an exploration of the fragility of modern man amid violence. It is serious, demanding reading and will appeal to collectors of modern Afrikaans literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor Profile: P.J.
