In 1878, aspiring entomologist Hans Bengler travels to the Kalahari Desert in hopes of making a name for himself by discovering a previously unknown insect or two. There he encounters a boy named Molo, an orphan whose family has been killed by European colonists. Bengler "civilizes" the boy by rechristening him Daniel, teaching him to pray to the Christian god, and finally bringing him home to Sweden. The boy is bewildered and awed by the new land, cut off from his culture and the spirits of his family, and Bengler finds that raising a child across a great cultural divide is more difficult than he imagined. A psychological drama of one boy's struggle to find his place in a new land far from home, "Daniel" is a compelling novel for our modern globalized world.

Etat : Very Good. : En 1875, Hans Bengler, un joven entomólogo, deja Suecia para emprender la expedición de su vida al desierto de Kalahari. Allí, espera encontrar un insecto desconocido para nombrarlo en su honor y así impulsar su carrera. Sin embargo, en lugar de eso, encuentra a un niño cuya tribu ha sido diezmada por invasores europeos. Acostumbrado a recolectar especímenes, Bengler decide adoptar al niño y lo llama Daniel. Lo lleva a su casa en Suecia con la intención de 'civilizarlo'. Pero Daniel no logra adaptarse a una cultura ajena y anhela desesperadamente el desierto y a su verdadera familia, quienes lo visitan en sus sueños. Su único consuelo proviene de su amistad con una joven vulnerable que también es una marginada en su comunidad. Sin embargo, incluso este vínculo está destinado a romperse violentamente, ya que el aislamiento y la creciente desesperación de Daniel conducen a una trágica tragedia. Además de una aguda descripción psicológica de la extraordinaria vida de un niño arrojado a circunstancias extraordinarias, en Daniel, el aclamado escritor Henning Mankell también nos ofrece una historia convincente e inquietante sobre las peligrosas brechas e incomprensiones que pueden existir entre individuos y culturas.
