Beyond the Devil's Teeth

Forty-five million years ago, the supercontinent of Gondwanaland split apart. This created what are now known as India, Africa and South America. The huge landmass was named after the Gonds, a primitive tribe of central India. Meeting a Gond story-teller, Tahir Shah heard their ancient saga, and set off on an epic journey across Gondwanaland. Beyond the Devil’s Teeth is the story of his experiences as he travelled: meeting wanderers and expatriates, attending magical ceremonies and seeking treasures. Roughing it most of the way, the Author's expeditions range through sweltering India and Pakistan, Uganda and Rwanda, Congo and Liberia, Brazil, and finally through Argentina's frozen expanse of Patagonia.
