"I have tried to recapture the life and spirit of a once unspoilt continent, hoping to evoke some sense of her ancient youth and the ambitious men who came from Europe to court her. The vast herds that have been a part of Africa for centuries are not now impossible to locate; those that have been driven from the open plain can be found crowded together in forests. The difficulty is seeing them as they once were… the image of this book changed. What had been conceived as a chronicle of courtship became a record of assault" Author's note.
