Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar

Viac o knihe

Lieutenant Albert Werper's assignment to a remote Congo post stems from a dishonorable act that nearly led to his court-martial. Initially grateful for the reprieve, he soon succumbs to the oppressive isolation and monotony of his surroundings. As he wallows in self-pity, his resentment grows towards those who sent him there, particularly his captain, whom he blames for his exile. This internal struggle highlights themes of regret, isolation, and the psychological impact of failure, as Werper grapples with his lost life in Brussels and the consequences of his actions.
