English Summary/英文概要： From the international bestselling author of THE MASK OF TIME, THE ORIGINAL SIN and THE SEVENTH MOON comes an enchanting novel of late 19th Century Africa.

Intelligent, charming and handsome, Jean-Patrice has Paris at his feet. But when he embarks on a passionate affair with the beautiful wife of a superior, his brilliant career in the Civil Service goes south.

Packed off to the equatorial colony of Gabon to avoid a scandal, Jean-Patrice is plunged from the City of Light into the Heart of Darkness. In the company of cannibals, ghosts, witchdoctors and a gorilla named Chloe, he is forced to revise everything he has learned and find the true meaning of courage and love.

Told with humor and compassion, this is the story of a young man’s coming of age in the last months of the 19th Century.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 睿智，迷人而又英俊，吉恩·帕特里斯让巴黎臣服于他脚下。但当他和自己长官的娇妻陷入一场轰轰烈烈的婚外情时，他在行政部门的辉煌事业也就此南行至远方。 被派往位于赤道的高蓬殖民地，为的是避免丑闻再度升级，吉恩·帕特里斯一下子从城市之光跌至了最为黑暗的谷底。一同随行的有当地土族野人，鬼魂，巫医和一只叫克洛伊的大猩猩，他被迫要重新开始学习每一样东西，找到勇气和爱的真谛。 用诙谐和同情之词叙述，这是一个愣头青在19世纪末的最后几个月里如何成长为男人的故事。 (Sandy)
