Plot

Diamonds make dreams a reality.’ writes Olga Levinson in this remarkable story of August Stauch, the lonely railway worker who stumbled across diamonds at an outpost in a god-forsaken desert area near Luderitz in the former German colony of South West Africa. With the ease of the skilled writer she brings to life the feverish rush for diamonds by a motley crowd of fortune-hunters.
