When a civilized man collides with a primitive man’s universe, will the true meaning of wisdom be revealed?

Associate Professor Werner, a social scientist at an American college, dismissed the San Bushman of the Kalahari as primitives. His colleagues rejected Werner’s assertion that the San “had no literary accomplishments…and were a trivial people” due to the tribe’s around-the-fire oral history and tradition.

After a challenge made and a wager agreed, Werner was sent to sub-Sahara Africa. The professor expected to his win this bet.

Werner’s journey from civilization to the desert wastelands did not go as planned. N!xau, a proud descendant of the Khoisan, finds the professor near his wrecked car, bloodied, and dying of thirst.

The professor’s deepest fears about primitive man now haunt him. Would the tribesman kill him? Or abandon him? Would Werner pay the ultimate price for his hubris before his mission had begun?

Facing death by dehydration or as a hyena’s meal, reluctantly the American professor places himself at the mercy of the San. Eager to prove himself superior to the Bushman, Werner takes advantage of his hosts caring hospitality.

Then again, in that simple place secrets do not remain hidden, and a cynical Werner learns the frightening truth…

Being civilized and well-read are useless attributes when stranded in a barren desert; and that situational ignorance could be fatal.

Mark of the Hyena is a cautionary tale of conflicting civilizations and the flaw of baseless pride by strangers in strange lands.
