Leopard napada u tami

Leopard napada u tami

Wilbur Smith

„Leopard napada u tami“ (1984) je četvrti roman u serijalu o Balantajnu, smešten u Zimbabveu nakon sticanja nezavisnosti. Delo, zabranjeno u Zimbabveu po objavljivanju, značajno je zbog radnje, ali i zbog kritike postkolonijalnih pitanja.

Glavni lik, Krejg Melou, uspešan pisac, vraća se iz Njujorka u svoju rodnu zemlju na zahtev Svetske banke, sa tajnim zadatkom da izveštava o političkoj situaciji. Vođen nostalgijom, Krejg kupuje porodično imanje u Matabelelendu, želeći da mu vrati nekadašnji sjaj. U Zimbabveu se suočava sa političkim previranjima, plemenskim sukobima između Matabela i Šona i korupcijom.

Krejg se povezuje sa starim prijateljem, Semom Kumalom, sada ministrom, koji ga upozorava na opasnosti. Zaljubljuje se u fotografkinju Sali-En, i zajedno otkrivaju ilegalnu mrežu krivolova slonovače kojom upravljaju visoki zvaničnici. Roman opisuje brutalne scene klanja slonova, naglašavajući ekološku i moralnu krizu. Krejg i Sali-En postaju mete, suočavajući se sa izdajom i nasiljem dok pokušavaju da otkriju zaveru.

Smit vešto kombinuje avanturu, politički triler i ljubavnu priču, sa detaljnim opisima afričkog pejzaža i istorije Zimbabvea. Roman kulminira napetim obračunom, gde Krejg rizikuje svoj život za pravdu.
