Édition originale illustrée de 27 photographies hors texte d'après les photographies de l'auteur (dont deux portraits en frontispice, une de l'auteur et l'autre de son père) et d'une grande carte dépliante en trois couleurs pliée et insérée sous un bandeau en fin de volume. " Le prince Ghika et son père attirés par les exploits cynégétiques accomplis à la fin du 19 ème siècle dans le Somaliland par les chasseurs européens, éecidèrent les deux hommes à y tenter la fortune du fusil. Il en résulte ce livre, composer avec les souvenirs et les notes de chaque soir, griffonnées après une émouvante poursuite ou à la fin d'une étape. Deux chapitres spéciaux, consacrés aux Somalis et à la faune de leur pays, le complètent et l'éclaircissent. Suivi de « La faune somalie » et d'une liste des plantes décrites par G. Schweinfurth et G. Volkens.Cette édition (imprimée par W. Kündig à Genève) a été publiée par Georg à Bâle et Genève et diffusée en France par Berger-Levrault, avec une page de titre propre à cet éditeur.Le prince Niculaï D. Ghica (ou Ghika) est le fils de Dimitrie Ghica-Comãnesti (aussi connu sous le nom Demeter Ghica, Ghica Comãnesteanu, ou Prince Ghica de Roumanie, 1839-1923), explorateur roumain, chasseur célèbre, aventurier et politicien. La famille Ghica remonte au début du XVII ème siècle.Le père et le fils ont fait ensemble des expéditions dans l'est de l'Afrique. En tant que chasseur, le père était aussi préoccupé de science : il fit des découvertes botaniques et rapporta des spécimens pour le Musée d'histoire naturelle de Bucarest. Son fils Nicolas Ghika-Comanesti la accompagné entre octobre 1895 et mars 1896, pour explorer la Somalie britannique, puis fit des voyages personnels en Afrique du Nord, au Sahara (1899), au Canada et en Alaska en 1910. Il est l'auteur de ce livre de souvenirs de chasse et d'exploration dune région encore peu connue à la fin du XIXème siècle, complété d'éléments sur la faune et la flore du pays.Comme souvent, la justification fournie de ces voyages et de ces aventures cynégétiques est la suivante, fort classique : « Notre but était avant tout d'échanger pour quelques mois la monotonie de la vie civilisée contre les émotions, les aventures et les dangers dune expédition dans un pays peu exploré ou inconnu : sous ce rapport, notre programme fut bien rempli. » On parlait jadis de guérir son spleen ou sa neurasthénie et cela n'a guère changé aujourd'hui ! ".Les animaux chassés sont : rhinocéros, zèbre, éléphants, lion et lionnes, panthère, phacochère, girafe, crocodile.Aujourd'hui, ce livre a un intérêt documentaire sur les moeurs cynégétiques d'un temps d'abondance, où les animaux d'Afrique n'étaient pas en voie de disparition et d'extinction et où l'Afrique s'offrait, généreuse, comme un gigantesque terrain de chasse sans limite.Bel exemplaire. (sans rousseurs). Livres pleine percaline crème, bords biseautés. Au premier plat, noir, un lion en arrêt, pattes posées sur une roche sommitale dominant le paysage environnant, une touffe de cactus derrière lui. Second plat muet, au dos titre et fleuron noirs, tranches non rognées 223 pages.…

Encuadernación de tapa dura. Condizione: Nuevo. Edición Especial. 2021. Edición limitada de 200 ejemplares,diligenciados ante notario, con tabla gratulatoria de los socios. A finales del XIX (desde octubre de 1895 hasta marzo de 1896), Dimitri y Nicolas Ghika Comanesti, padre e hijo, viajan en caravana durante cinco meses arrostrando peligros y cazando por una región poco conocida, oeste de la actual Somalia y sureste de Etiopía, que pocos europeos han pisado antes. Ni son cazadores profesionales, ni el objetivo de la expedición es el marfil (aunque cobren cinco elefantes), sino romper la monotonía de la vida cotidiana pegando tiros y, de paso, profundizar en el conocimiento de una zona de África, coleccionando los animales y plantas encontrados en ella. la apertura del Canal de Suez, a fines de 1869, dio comienzo una nueva etapa en la exploración africana, especialmente después de que Gran Bretaña, Francia e Italia, ocuparan plazas fortificadas en las dos orillas del Mar Rojo. Desde entonces, los viajes de caza a África cruzando el Mediterráneo y descendiendo por el canal se hicieron más frecuentes. Autor: PRINCIPE NICOLAS D. GHIKA COMANESTI, Edición: LIMITADA, Editorial: CAZAYLIBROS & TREBERE, Encuadernación: TELA INGLESA CON GRABADOS EN DORADO, Páginas: 150, Prólogo: ANTONIO FERNANDEZ TOMAS.…
