Summary "Lodges in the Wilderness" by William Charles Scully is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores the harsh yet captivating landscape of the Bushmanland Desert, intertwining elements of exploration with reflections on nature and the human condition. It follows an unnamed narrator and his companion, Field Cornet Andries Esterhuizen, as they embark on a journey through the arid wilderness, absorbing the beauty and danger of their surroundings. The opening of this work sets the stage in the vast and desolate Bushmanland Desert, emphasizing its solitude and the subtle signs of life that persist in this harsh environment. The narrator reminisces about past travels in the region and paints a vivid picture of the landscape, describing its unique flora and fauna while highlighting the challenges faced by those who inhabit its fringes.
