Contained in these pages of photographs - many of them absolutely shocking ? taken over 20 years and which are incontavertible evidence that we must begin at once to reverse the complex origins of our apathy. Here we find "the elephants graveyard" and a mandate to try to re-arrange our own fate this side of the politics of sentimentality and anthropomorphism ? This book should come to the attention of the dedicated preservation groups, as it brings out into the open a "wildlife watergate" for which they are to a large extent responsible. Peter Beard settled in Kenya in 1961 on land adjoining Karen Blixen and there set about documenting the widespread destruction of the African Elephant.

Chricle Book, 1988, gd. in-4 carré, cartonnage souple à rabats éd., couv. photos en noir éd., non paginé (304 pp.), très nb. photos, dessins et reproductions de documents anciens en noir, sommaire, bibliographie, texte en anglais, text in english, «Plus l'homme blanc s'est enfoncé en Afrique, plus la vie s'y est effacée, quittant les plaines, le bush. Jusqu'à disparaître en hectares de trophées, de peaux et de carcasses.» - Peter Beard. Publication majeure sur l'Afrique, The End of the Game allie le texte essentiel de Peter Beard à ses remarquables photographies qui, ensemble, rendent compte de la surpopulation et de la famine qui terrassaient des dizaines de milliers d'éléphants, de rhinocéros et d'hippopotames dans les plaines du Tsavo, au Kenya, et dans les parcs ougandais dans les années 1960 et 1970. Composé après vingt ans de recherches et de travail sur le terrain, actualisé plusieurs fois depuis sa première parution avec de nouveaux documents, ce livre est l'oeuvre maîtresse de Beard - un témoignage puissant et poignant sur les ravages causés par l'intervention humaine en Afrique. Ses propres images et textes sont complétés par des photos anciennes et des citations d'entrepreneurs, d'explorateurs, de missionnaires et de chasseurs de gros gibier, dont la quête d'aventure et de «progrès» a changé la face du continent: Theodore Roosevelt, Frederick Courteney Selous, Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen), Philip Percival, J. A. Hunter, Ernest Hemingway et J. H. Patterson. Cette nouvelle édition inclut un entretien avec le défenseur de l'environnement Esmond Bradley Martin, ainsi que des essais repris de précédentes éditions, signées du célèbre écrivain Paul Theroux, de l'écologiste Richard M. Laws, et une contribution à la postface par l'agronome Norman Borlaug. Parce qu'il aborde des thèmes comme la distance par rapport à la nature, la densité et le stress, la perte du sens commun, ce portrait incomparable résonne encore aujourd'hui, alors que la crise environnementale s'aggrave, comme, déjà, il y a un demi-siècle. » Librairie spécialisée en gastronomie , nologie et tabagie.
