Dirk Wildlight is found by Australian settlers in the middle of the night when he is 3 years old; tied to a stake and wild, unable to speak and liable to lash out. One of the farmers agrees to care for him but treats him rather like a wild dog than a person, making him chop wood in the forest everyday. One day, fifteen years later, Dirk makes an amazing discovery that allows him to leave the farm and journey to find out who he really is with only his rifle, his axe and his greyhound Speed beside him.P161 – 166Dirk discovers the ship wrecked on the beach after sheltering a night in a cave.He had been working in a gang to build a lighthouse near Portland . aucune critique | ajouter une critique

In the forest, armed men from a new settlement ventured to investigate strange lights and found three fires burning, a child at their centre tethered to a stake. The boy appeared to be white, perhaps three or four years old, unable to speak. He watched the men with the darting, fearful eyes of a wild animal and at their approach he crouched, snatched a stick from a fire, and snarled. So begins Dirk Wildlight's life in the tiny Victorian settlement of Tilmore. Reluctantly he's taken in, only to be treated with suspicion, neglect and cruelty. Then, a strange turn in fortune leads him not only towards freedom, but to an understanding of the mystery of his earliest years. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
