On this trip he was informed by the South African state that he would no longer be accepted into the country after his return to France. In 1975, however, Breytenbach made an illegal entrance to South Africa to recruit members to an anti-apartheid movement being set up outside the country. The security police became aware of his presence in the country and he was caught, interrogated and imprisoned in isolation in Pretoria. This poignantly told (auto)biography reveals the pain and the beauty of the life of a South African visionary, as he returns to his beloved country to travel his landscape of memory. See less
