Description
Can a solitary Indian from the wild Black Hills survive in France at the end of the nineteenth century? The last novel by Indian author James Welch, 'Killing Deer' (2000), captures the fate of a young Indian from the Lakota tribe who arrives in French Marseille with the famous American West show, Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. However, when he is severely injured during the performance and the show continues its journey without him, a new chapter in his life begins, and he must learn to live in a country whose language he does not understand and whose culture is completely foreign to him. And this ignorance will have tragic consequences...
'Killing Deer' is a dramatic narrative about the clash of two distinct cultures, but it is also a much more universal story about the simple human desire for happiness. - Published with the kind support of the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic.
