In prehistoric times, Siberia was a vast ocean, and its topography still resembles that of a shallow sea bottom, raised at the edges by a saucer-rim of mountains, with few barriers against wind or sun.

Gary fought in the Nigeria Regiment in World War I, later served as a magistrate dealing with the everyday crises of tribal life. Out of this experience came Mister Johnson (published in 1939), by all odds...
