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.
