On Leopard Rock

A Life of Adventures

De: Wilbur Smith

Narrado por: Saul Reichlin

Wilbur Smith has lived an incredible life of adventure, and now he shares the extraordinary true stories that have inspired his fiction.

From being attacked by lions to close encounters with deadly reef sharks, from getting lost in the African bush without water to crawling the precarious tunnels of gold mines, from marlin fishing with Lee Marvin to near death from crash-landing a Cessna airplane, from brutal school days to redemption through writing and falling in love, Wilbur Smith tells us the intimate stories of his life that have been the raw material for his fiction. Always candid, sometimes hilarious, and never less than thrillingly entertaining, On Leopard Rock is testament to a writer whose life is as rich and eventful as his novels are compellingly.

LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS BOOK

thanks so much for an amazing read, can’t wait to re-read more of his books. I felt like I knew him, and wished to be him, to live his adventures

Loved it

Very interesting. I had never heard of this author and now I want to start reading his novels.

What a gem!

Not only as an autobiography of a life well lived, but as an example of what can be done when one is determined to see dreams come true. In addition, by sharing his story, Mr. Smith has provided an incredible encouragement to all readers who aspire to publish their own book (and amongst all bibliophiles, who doesn’t?) If you have ever enjoyed a Wilbur Smith novel, this is an excellent and enervating blueprint of the author! Thank you, Mr. Smith!

Fascinating and Enlightening!

Wilbur's writing depicts his intensive and thorough research - an eye-opener. His words bring the dust, the heat and the smells alive.
