About this title

Synopsis

In this classic volume, Matthiessen exquisitely combines both nature and travel writing to bring East Africa to vivid life. He skillfully portrays the daily lives of herdsmen and hunter-gatherers; the drama of the predator *; the hundreds of exotic animals; the breathtaking landscapes; and the area's turbulent natural, political, and social histories.
