On a day in 1896, in a small German circus town near the Black Forest, a boy, Bram, is born to Katrina Gunterstein and her elephant trainer husband, Josef. On the same day, at the same hour, a "girl" the world will come to know as Modoc is born to an elephant named Emma, star attraction of the Wunderzircus. So begins the extraordinary true story of the lifelong bond between man and animal, a bond Bram and Modoc will cherish for nearly eighty years through a series of amazing adventures on three continents. Sweeping us from a shipwreck in the Indian Ocean to the teak plantations of Burma, from the Ringling Brothers Circus in 1940s New York to author Ralph Helfer's haven for abused animals, through decades of painful partings and joyful reunions, Modox is a treasure for animal lovers everywhere, an impossible-to-put-down, deeply moving tale of love and loyalty, courage and sacrifice, and friendship that triumphs over every test." - from the rear outer jacket. "Heartwarming, captivating . a beautifully true story that will make you think twice about the incredible and very real feelings of elephants. " - African Sun-TImes. "Once I started this incomparable story, I couldn't put it down, and I cannot get it out of my mind -- nor will I ever. The message of what can be accomplished by training though affection and joy will thrill all animal lovers." - Betty White. "Spanning seven decades and three continents, Modoc is one of the most astonishing true animal stories ever told. It starts when a boy and an elephant are born on the same day, in the same small town in Germany, and doesn't end until many years later when both, well advanced in age, pass away within a short while of each other. During the years in between, the two live through a staggering series of experiences that give Modoc all the energy and excitement of a great adventure novel. Nearly unique among animal handlers, third-generation elephant trainer Josef Gunterstein cares for them almost as if they are people, respecting their intelligence and treating them with kindness and love. When his wife and Emma the elephant, the Wunderzircus's most popular performer, give birth on the same day. Josef senses the bond between his new son, Bram, and Emma's new daughter, Modoc. Josef dies, the circus is sold to a sadistic, greedy American, and Bram stows away on the ship carrying Modoc to her new home. But the ship founders during a hurricane in the Indian Ocean, and Modoc and her "brother" float to shore and eventually find themselves in a maharaja's "elephantarium." Aware that the American circus owner is still searching for his "property," the pair flee into the teak forests, where they encounter innumerable dangers, natural and human, including a band of murderous rebels. Ultimately they arrive in America. Bram's belief in using affection to train animals conflicts with the traditional dependence on intimidation and fear. Still, no one can argue with Bram's results: spectacular circus shows featuring exhilarating solo performances by the magnificent "golden elephant," Modoc. Surviving a fire, a poisoning attempt, and the careless, casual cruelty of circus managers, Modoc and Bram seem to have found success and serenity at last, when unexpected disaster strikes." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
