Threatened with Internment for the duration of World War II, two young German geologists, Henno Martin and Hermann Korn, sought refuge in the Namib Desert and lived a Robinson Crusoe existence for two and a half years.

How they mastered their situation, what they did, thought and observed are the subject of The Sheltering Desert.

In it lies the vastness of the landscape, the clear skies, nature's silence in the joy or suffering of her creatures, and the stillness in which the reader, too, may take refuge from the wrongs of civilization.

Review This Product

Mon, 3 Apr 2023 | Review by: Lilith S.

This is a wonderful story! Full of innovation, interest and well written. Especially for Namibians or south Africans it is a gripping tale. Couldn't put it down.
