Reader Reviews
Early explorers of the dark continent described Africa as a land "boiling with oppurtunities." Upon this conclusion they further remarked "what a pity." Kittenberger came to Africa as a explorer in search of wild game specimens for the Hungerian Natural History Museum and to document the native people and culture. What he discovered was a uniqueness, a land radiating of genuine nature, and land that needed to be perserved for the future. In his book he describes this land, its people and game, its culture, and the very aura that stays in a individuals soul calling them back, to the upmost detail. Kittenberger was on a scientific exploration and yes his book is deemed a scientific novel. But as great as he was a scientist, he was an even greater writer. The scientific data, experimentation, and jargon are blended throughout with anecdotes from his diary and accounts of adventure. The book flows smoothly, with adeaqute explanations accompaning anything that may cause confusion. The author provides vivid detail, and the reader, upon completion, is left with a new found knowledge of Africa. Several unique observations were made by Kittenberger, along with many extraordinary scientific breakthroughs. By incorperating these into the novel interest is maintained and a vibrate zest dances through the pages. Kittenberger gives the reader a accurate account of Africa through the text. The reader sometimes finds himself in a daydreaming esctasy surrounded by Africa. You can hear the lion roar, smell the campfire, and see the sunsets. Upon conclusion a little piece of Africa occupies the reader's soul calling them there. Comment | Permalink | (Report this)
