Condizione: Très bon état. San Francisco, éd. Chricle Book, 1988, gd. in-4 carré, cartonnage souple à rabats éd., couv. photos en noir éd., non paginé (304 pp.), très nb. photos, dessins et reproductions de documents anciens en noir, sommaire, bibliographie, texte en anglais, text in english, «Plus l'homme blanc s'est enfoncé en Afrique, plus la vie s'y est effacée, quittant les plaines, le bush. Jusqu'à disparaître en hectares de trophées, de peaux et de carcasses.» - Peter Beard. Publication majeure sur l'Afrique, The End of the Game allie le texte essentiel de Peter Beard à ses remarquables photographies qui, ensemble, rendent compte de la surpopulation et de la famine qui terrassaient des dizaines de milliers d'éléphants, de rhinocéros et d'hippopotames dans les plaines du Tsavo, au Kenya, et dans les parcs ougandais dans les années 1960 et 1970. Composé après vingt ans de recherches et de travail sur le terrain, actualisé plusieurs fois depuis sa première parution avec de nouveaux documents, ce livre est l'oeuvre maîtresse de Beard - un témoignage puissant et poignant sur les ravages causés par l'intervention humaine en Afrique. Ses propres images et textes sont complétés par des photos anciennes et des citations d'entrepreneurs, d'explorateurs, de missionnaires et de chasseurs de gros gibier, dont la quête d'aventure et de «progrès» a changé la face du continent: Theodore Roosevelt, Frederick Courteney Selous, Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen), Philip Percival, J. A. Hunter, Ernest Hemingway et J. H. Patterson. Cette nouvelle édition inclut un entretien avec le défenseur de l'environnement Esmond Bradley Martin, ainsi que des essais repris de précédentes éditions, signées du célèbre écrivain Paul Theroux, de l'écologiste Richard M. Laws, et une contribution à la postface par l'agronome Norman Borlaug. Parce qu'il aborde des thèmes comme la distance par rapport à la nature, la densité et le stress, la perte du sens commun, ce portrait incomparable résonne encore aujourd'hui, alors que la crise environnementale s'aggrave, comme, déjà, il y a un demi-siècle. » Librairie spécialisée en gastronomie , nologie et tabagie.

This landmark volume is assembled from hundreds of historical photographs and writings, starting with the building of the Mombasa Railroad ("The Lunatic Line") and the opening-up of darkest Africa. The stories behind the heroic figures in Beard s work Theodore Roosevelt, Frederick Courtney Selous, Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen) , Denys Finch-Hatton (the romantic hero of Out of Africa) , Philip Percival, J. A. Hunter, Ernest Hemingway, and J. H. Patterson (who became famous as the relentless hunter of the "Man-Eating Lions of Tsavo") are all contextualized by Beard s own photographs of the enormous region. Shot in the 1960s and 70s in the Tsavo lowlands during theelephant-habitatcrisis and then in Uganda parks, Beard s studies of elephant and hippo population dynamics document the inevitable overpopulation and starvation of tens of thousands of elephants and rhinos.
