Wilderness guide Sicelo Mbatha shares lessons learnt from a lifetime’s intimate association with Africa’s wildest nature.
Black Lion begins in rural South Africa where a deeply traumatic childhood experience – he witnessed his cousin being dragged away by a crocodile – should have turned Sicelo against the surrounding wilderness. Instead, he was irresistibly drawn to it. As a volunteer at Imfolozi Nature Reserve, close encounters with buffalo, lion, elephant and other animals taught him to ‘see’ with his heart and thus began a spiritual awakening.
Drawing from his Zulu culture and his own yearning to better understand human’s relationship to nature, Sicelo has forged a new path, disrupting the conventional approach to nature with an immersive, respectful and transformative way of being in the wilderness. Both memoir and philosophical reflection, Black Lion - co-written with environmentalist Bridget Pitt - is his brilliant and profound account of life as a wilderness spiritual guide.
As humanity hurtles into the anthropogenic 21st century, Black Lion is an urgent reminder of just how much we need wilderness for our emotional and spiritual survival.
Henry dreams of silence.
A world without the clattering of carriages through cobbled streets,
the distant cries of drunken brawls, the relentless ticking of the
clock.
Then he meets a fascinating, mysterious gentleman who sells just that.
Precious silk that can drown out the clamour of the world – and
everything Henry is so desperate to escape.
Summoned to Sir Edward’s secluded factory to try to cure his young
daughter’s deafness, Henry is soon drawn deeper and deeper into the
origins of this otherworldly gift: a gift that has travelled from
ancient Mediterranean glades to English libraries.
Ignoring repeated warnings from the girl's secretive governess, he
allows himself to fall under the spell of Sir Edward and his silk… but
when he learns its true cost, will it be too late to turn back?
