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.
