Hard Back. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. Second Printing. 276 Pages. Yellow boards with black lettering on the spine. There is a small dent to the front board edge as well as very slightly bumped corner at the top. Jacket flap price $35 is unclipped. The inside of the dust jacket front has a light stain associated with moisture exposure. There is a 2 ¼ inch light stain on the top page edges near the spine that caused light page rippling to the first 50 pages. There is no stain on the pages from the moisture exposure and the rippling effect becomes progressively less until it is unnoticeable after the 50th page. This effect is no larger than 2 inches across and 1 ½ inches down. Beyond this flaw the pages are white, tight, and free of any marks. For years ardent fans have known that Frederick Selous wrote many articles in rare periodicals such as The Field as well as being a contributor to the hunting books of other authors. They were never published in book form. Safari Press presents these articles in book form and all the stories in this book relate to the continent that fascinated Selous his entire life -- Africa. Now you can read about Selous's early hunting days in Botswana, his hunts after the lions of the Kalahari, his many hunting trips in Zambezia, his outlook on big-game rifles, his elephant hunting adventures, his views on hippo, his presentation to the Royal Geographic Society concerning his hunts in Southern Africa, and much more. All of the material is annotated by the editor James Casada. In addition, there is a comprehensive bibliography as well as a photo section filled with many previously unpublished photos. Contents in 15 Chapters: Christmas in an African Desert, Incidents of a Hunter's Life in South Africa, Lion Hunting Past and Present, Twenty Years in Zambezia, Hunting in Central Africa The Sportsman's Outfit, African Antelope Heads and Horns, Game Preservation, Big Game in South Africa and Its Relation to the Tsetse Fly, The Romance of the World's Great Rivers The Zambezi, Journeys in the interior of South-Central Africa, Big-Game Rifles, Big-Game Hunting in Africa, The African Elephant, The Lion South and Southeast Africa, and The Hippopotamus.…

Couverture souple. Etat : Très bon. Description : " Enfonçant les éperons dans les côtes de mon cheval je fis de mon mieux pour le faire partir, mais il était tellement cuit qu'au lieu de bondir en avant il partit au pas et il amorçait seulement le galop que gis l'éléphant était sur nous. J'entendis deux brefs cris perçants au-dessus de ma tête et j'eus seulement le temps de penser que c'en était fini de moi, quand je fus projeté au sol avec ma monture. Pendant quelques secondes je restai à demi assommé sous la violence du choc, et la première chose dont j'eus conscience fut une forte odeur d'éléphant. En même temps je sentis que je n'étais pas gravement blessé et que même si j'étais dans une situation inconfortable, j'avais toujours une chance de survivre. J'étais cependant plaqué au sol de telle façon que je ne pouvais me dégager la tête. Au prix d'un violent effort je parvins cependant à me libérer en tirant mon corps de côté, et je me redressai sur les mains. C'est alors que je vis les pattes de derrière de l'éléphant comme deux piliers en face de moi et que je compris instantanément la situation. Il reposait sur les genoux, la tête et les défenses sur le sol, et j'avais été immobilisé sous sa poitrine, mais par chance derrière les pattes de devant. M'extrayant de sous lui, je me remis sur mes pieds et m'éclipsai à la hâte, ayant eu plus que mon compte d'éléphants pour cette fois. " Première traduction française du plus célèbre récit de grande chasse en Afrique, publié à Londres en 1881. Depuis son enfance bercée par la lecture de Livingston et de Baldwin, Selous (1851-1917) a une idée fixe, devenir chasseur de grand gibier en Afrique. Il n'a pas 20 ans quand il débarque sur le continent noir, contre l'avis de sa famille. Après des mois de voyage et plus de 2 000 km, Selous fait pendant plusieurs jours le siège du roi des Matabélés et obtient enfin la permission demandée : "Les éléphants ne tarderont pas à te chasser du pays, mais tu peux toujours y aller et montrer ce que tu es capable de faire !" "Comme j'avais entendu dire qu'il n'autorisait les gens à chasser que dans certaines parties de son pays et que je lui demandai où je pourrais aller, il me dit "Oh ! Tu peux aller partout où bon te semble, tu n'es qu'un enfant." Selous peut alors accomplir son rêve et deviendra l'un des hommes les plus célèbres de son temps, guidant même le président Roosevelt lors de son expédition de chasse en Afrique orientale anglaise. Les mémoires de Selous, inédites en français, ont largement contribué à sa célébrité qui lui a valu de donner son nom au Selous National Park (Tanzanie), le plus grand parc naturel d'Afrique.…
