When South African conservationist Lawrence Anthony was asked to accept a herd of 'rogue' elephants on his Thula Thula game reserve in Zululand, his common sense told him to refuse. But he was the herd's last chance of survival - dangerous and unpredictable, they would be killed if Anthony wouldn't take them in. As Anthony risked his life to create a bond with the troubled elephants and persuade them to stay on his reserve, he came to realize what a special family they were, from the wise matriarch Nana, who guided the herd, to her warrior sister Frankie, always ready to see off any threat, and their children who fought so hard to survive. With unforgettable characters and exotic wildlife, this is an enthralling book that will appeal to animal lovers and adventurous souls everywhere.

"Isn't it wonderful to suddenly find real human beings--Menschen--in circles where one would least expect to find them?" So wrote Rosa Luxemburg in November 1917 from her Breslau prison cell to her friend Clara Zetkin. She was referring to Hans Paasche (1881-1920), at that time also imprisoned, son of the Reichstag vice president but accused of high treason. Hans Paasche, Imperial Navy officer and combative pacifist, big game hunter and nature conservationist, Africa explorer and life reformer, alcohol abstainer and vegetarian, author and revolutionary. Here the brief but active life of this extraordinary personality is narrated in detail--his vain attempts to change the Prussian Deutschland-uber-alles mindset, his reaching out to peoples of all colors, classes and political bent, the African military campaign where he leamed first hand the horror and futility of war, his African explorations with his also extraordinary wife Ellen, the first European woman to reach the Source of the Nile and the first to ascend Kilimanjaro and the recently erupted volcano Nylragongo (an aid in these explorations was the fact that they both spoke fluent kiSwahili). Paasche's fictional series of letters Lukanga Mukara a look at Germany through the eyes of an educated African, reveal the decadence then existing. At last a retreat with Ellen and their four children to his estate Waldfrieden, where, at age 39 he fell victim to a political assassination. A gripping story about a remarkable life lived into the first two decades of the twentieth century.
