"Joy Adamson was not only a pioneer for the preservation of wildlife, but also a very courageous individual who faced many challenges in her life. She learned to adapt herself to live in different countries, learn different traditions and languages and she developed her unique personality with her beautiful paintings of African people, flowers and animals and also with her dedication to fight the abuse of wild animals taken away from their natural habitat. She wrote inspiring books about Elsa the lioness and other wild animals which she cared for before releasing them back into the wild. In this book we read about the experiences which led this extraordinary woman to write about the animals and the wild life she cared so much for and also for her final legacy to help preserve wild life for the generations to come. Her story is amazing and her legacy is a great gift." -- Amazon.com. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

I did not know until long after I had read her first books about the lions, that her marriage suffered a lot and she was apparently a very difficult person to get along with, perhaps even mentally ill or autistic. It's to her credit that in this book she has nothing ill to say of George, in fact she barely mentions him (perhaps that is telling).... Interestingly, Joy mentioned in this book that when she wrote the first account of Elsa, she was advised by a friend to avoid anthropomorphizing the lion so that people would realize she was telling the truth and take her book seriously. Perhaps that's why the account has always felt rather dry to me, just so many facts related. Still, they're incredible stories.
