44 Uganda Palaver
To my travelling companions in Uganda, you know who you are and my travelling companions in life, we've come so far. With thanks to all the family for a wonderful trip. Dedicated to the memory of the Major, he made it all possible. After my mother died, the family adopted me and I was invited onto their holiday. Like all good fiction I have exaggerated, transposed and transformed events to make for an entertaining read.None of this is real or true except in my head. Their humour and patience speaks volumes about their strong characters and their warm hearts.
Cockpit
From the acclaimed author of Being There and The Painted Bird, this “dazzling succession of . . . erotic anecdotes . . . brilliantly def[ies] the limitations of its form” (The New York Times Book Review). An agent known only as Tarden is a former operative of the mysterious security agency “the Service.” He has erased himself from all dossiers and transcripts. Now a fugitive, he moves across the landscape free of identity, in search of adventure and intrigue. But Tarden is a man of many disguises, and he is alternately avenger and savior, judge and trickster, as he enters the lives of others, forcing them into the arena of his judgment. In Cockpit, Kosinski is at his most startling and powerful, stripping away pretension and illusions of security to reveal the source of real strength within. “Jerzy Kosinki’s work glistens with social observation and psychological apprehension. Not since Conrad has an Eastern European found so profound a voice in the English language.” —Time “A vicious peepshow-parable about a world we reluctantly recognize now and then.” —Kirkus Reviews
UP!
As guest of the Buganda, different groups flew in from Kilimanjaro and the Middle East, landing at Entebbe where they were welcomed like VIPs. Staying in Kampala, at Reste Corner, The Speke Hotel and Aki Bua Road, they saw the sites of the Muganda. Their tour included visiting the Naggalabi Coronation Site at Buddo, the government buildings and listening to jazz in the palace grounds. A day trip to the source of the Nile and to Jinja, the sugar cane capital of Uganda, followed. Later in their stay, they spent a weekend on one of the Ssese Islands in the middle of Lake Victoria. Finally, going on safari at Murchison Falls, the disparate groups fell in love with all aspects of Uganda during their stay.
Uganda Safari
Uganda in the 1990's. Gathering for the Coronation of the King, heir to the throne of one of Africa's most prosperous countries, a Major and his entourage hesitantly discover the pace and people of this jewel of a country.
Major Bruton's Safari
Major Bruton's Safari - Preparations for a coronation lead to a family visiting Uganda. The family, travelling to Africa as a group for the first time, know that adventures and disasters await. It is not what life throws at you but how you deal with it that counts. This is a humorous and warm account of a family's frustration and bewilderment. From being stranded in Lake Victoria with no fuel to being buffeted in a tropical storm near Murchinson Falls, the Bruton family embraced adversity with humour and tenacity. This book is probably the funniest account of travels abroad that you will ever read. With laughter comes drama and adversity, perhaps too, the key to a mystery that has kept Scotland Yard baffled for over forty years...
