The Extinction Club: A Mostly True Story About Two Men, a Deer And a Writer: The Mostly True Story of Two Men, One Deer and a Writer - Rilegato
Sinossi
For over 1000 years Milu, a strange-looking species of Chinese deer, existed only in the Forbidden Park in Beijing. Robert Twigger tells the amazing story of how, in the late 19th century, Milu was saved from extinction by a Basque priest and an eccentric Englishman. In the process, he provides an illuminating meditation on a number of human obsessions - evolution, truth-telling, extinction, myth-making and survival.

Hamish Hamilton, London 2001 First Edition. ISBN 0241140676 180pp Hardback. This copy is in fine condition in a fine unclipped dustwrapper. The illustration may show aparrent defects to the dustwrapper. This is the work of an art director with too much time on his hands! For 1000 years, Milu - an exotic species of deer - existed only in the Chinese Emperor's private park in Beijing. Milu was odd-looking, with the neck of a camel, the horns of a stag, the feet of a cow and the tail of a donkey. In second half of the 19th century, a Basque missionary, Pere David, became the first westerner ever to see Milu. Eventually, he acquired some bones and a pelt, which were shipped in a diplomatic bag to Paris. The cured remains caused excitement across Europe, as zoologists clamoured to get hold of a live specimen. Soon every major nation in Europe had a Milu or two. But the deer did not thrive, and most of them died quickly. The one exception was in Bedfordshire - Woburn, the family seat of the 11th Duke of Bedford. He was devoted to the Milu, and under his care it flourished. Meanwhile in China, during the period of the Boxer Rebellion, Milu became extinct. Today, for a price, one can shoot a Milu in wild game reserves located throughout the world - but especially in Texas. This text is Robert Twigger's attempt to tell the story. In the process, he provides a meditation on a number of human obsessions - evolution, truth-telling, extinction, myth-making, and survival. Ref W5. Codice articolo 008419
