Description

A hunting lodge in Africa, empire at the table. Buchan’s Lodge in the Wilderness is talk as adventure: progress, rule, the future of a civilisation argued over rifles and maps. Ideas with a veranda, and a wilderness that does not care who is right. Not a shoot-’em-up: a symposium in khaki. Buchan’s guests test empire as if it were a creed. The bush is scenery and a judge. Dated in its confidence, alive in its argument. Carey’s guests testing civilisation over maps and rifles.
