Hierdie verhaal, skitterend in sy eenvoud, gaan oor ’n Andalusiese skaapwagter genaamd Santiago wat uit sy vaderland Spanje vertrek en deur Egipte se woestyn reis op soek na ’n skat wat by die piramides begrawe is. Langs die pad ontmoet hy ’n sigeunerin, ’n man wat homself ’n koning noem, en ’n alchemis. Hulle almal help Santiago om tydens sy soektog op koers te bly. Niemand weet wat die skat is en of Santiago die struikelblokke langs die pad sal oorkom nie.

Hans van Rooyen is a former police general raised by two women who survived the 1899 South African War. He finds himself being cared for in an old age home by the daughter of liberation struggle activists. At 80, he carries with him the memories of crimes he committed as an officer under the apartheid government. Having eluded the public confessions at the TRC for his time in the Border Wars, he retained his position in the democratic South Africa, serving as an institutional memory for a new generation of police recruits.
