A dramatic work likely written in the early 20th century. This play immerses the reader in a vivid representation of African life, showcasing intense sensory experiences through its characters and settings.

The opening of the drama introduces us to a tense and oppressive atmosphere in the Equatorial African desert, where the protagonist Kabango, along with his companions Mabima, Lanzirica, and Bagamoio, struggles for survival against the relentless heat and impending dangers. Kabango's leadership is tested as they confront enemy factions and personal dilemmas involving love for Mabima and the significance of a sacred object called the Sinrun.
