Ojisan Zanoni

Ojisan Zanoni is a novel by Michael C. Willey published by Matador in 2006.

It tells the story of a young English man, Christopher, and a Japanese girl, Ayami, who meet while climbing in New Zealand.

They travel to Brittany and to Bolivia where they become lost in the jungle and stumble across a still surviving Inca community.

They have several encounters with the timeless Zanoni, a herbalist and magician, who is drawn loosely upon the character created by Lord Bulwer-Lytton in his novel of the same name.
