A finales de septiembre de 1797, en los bosques del Languedoc francés, tres cazadores hallaron a un niño errante, completamente desnudo, hirsuto, que adoptaba los modales de un animal. Aparentaba unos ocho o nueve años. Una vez capturado, empezaría su peregrinación por la Francia recién salida de la revolución, recalando tanto en instituciones mentales como en refinados salones, donde constituiría poco menos que una atracción de feria.
Ambientada en las postrimerías del siglo XVIII, esta ficción histórica narra las disparatadas aventuras de Mungo Park, un soñador que abandona su pacífica Escocia natal para adentrarse en el salvaje e inexplorado corazón del África negra, y de Ned Rise, un buscavidas que intenta abrirse camino en las calles de un Londres miserable. Dos historias llenas de anacronismos y licencias hilarantes que mezclan las vidas paralelas de dos personajes que acabarán uniendo sus destinos en primera expedición del hombre occidental a las fuentes del Níger.… (más)
