Product Synopsis

Tanganyika Dreaming is a cathartic rite of passage, for lack of a more appropriate phrase. This is a true story, written about an era between the years 1993 and 1997, in the The Great Lakes Region of central Africa, where the author worked as a forester and conservationist, as well as in other fields best described in the script. Through his eyes, the reader is taken on a sensual journey through this region of beauty and mystique, where he encounters the majestic, proud and beautiful people that live there. The story covers four tumultuous years spent in Burundi and Rwanda, in which he witnessed firsthand, the unnatural beauty, the unimaginable tragedy and the horrors that engulfed this magical region during that time. This story is written in the hope that the beautiful, haunted and long suffering people of this land, will one day discover the eternal peace that they deserve. That the Tutsi and the Hutu peoples will one day find the courage and the wisdom, to cross the great divide that separates them, to become one people.

Customer Reviews

Africa...a land of such contrasts. The breathtaking beauty of the land and its people versus the wide scale corruption, greed and horrific atrocities committed...one human to another. The author vividly “paints this picture” in such an open and honest way; writing with such a depth of feeling, thought and sensitivity...thus allowing me to almost “be there”. This is an inspiring story of courage to “follow the path of heart as opposed to the path of convenience”; the will of the human spirit to survive and adapt to life’s situations and the flexibility to always “make a plan”. I am an African; perhaps the reason why this story resonated so well with me. In my opinion a very worthwhile read. The author’s words to his sons...“to enjoy every sandwich”...I think that I might just remember that!

Tanganyika Dreaming is a journey through an adventurous period of life that leaves you little option but to hold your breath and see what happens until the very last page. The author paints vivid pictures that pull you inside the story and he almost has you “watching” every scene, whether it be a drive through a genocide or an encounter of a more intimate nature. The story has all the elements that one might expect: history, war, international aid and its contradictions and failures, adventure, love, sex, money, but where the true, real protagonist of the story is Africa and its powerful nature and environment. The writing style is direct and brutally honest, sometimes naïve but genuine all the same, and somehow full of love, totally inspired.
