From the Preface: "Reflections of a Jaundiced Eye in Winter Bloom is a collection of fleeting thoughts randomly written over a lifetime. Often, they were recorded on scraps of paper for later scrutiny. Sometimes, they were incorporated in travel diaries prompted by experiences of the time; occasionally, they were nascent musings awaiting later revisits. The compilation can be read leisurely and selectively since continuity is not requisite. The work is aimed at readers who enjoy browsing through witticisms, quips, aphorisms, and axioms. It is assumed that readers may not share the author's views-or even appreciate some of the attempts at sardonic humor-but agreement is not in order. What is important is the willingness to screen another person's vision of this thing we call 'life'." The Tragedy of Adam and Eve is a one-act play. It is an imaginary domestic drama about the apocryphal first family.

africa; hunting; short stories; sporting Robert Ruark was perhaps the most renowned safari writer of the twentieth century. As a respected columnist and author during his lifetime, his writings have influenced thousands of hunters to travel to Africa to see the places that Ruark immortalized in his writings. Despite his impact, Ruark only wrote for a period of fifteen years, but it was a time where he lived his life to its fullest potential. He travelled all across the world in order to see and do everything he could dream of, but it was in East Africa that he came to find a spiritual home. As the area became increasingly independent of colonial rule, Ruark predicted the economic, social, and political ruin that has since been the daily reality of the region. In this detailed account of Ruark’s life, Terry Wieland has written a definitive book on Ruark, the restless traveler, and the times in which he lived, as well as his lifelong fascination with Africa.
