ANTIKVARISK
1970
I 1870 rejste den da 20-årige Frederick Courteney Selous ud i bushen i det sydige Afrika. Her levede han de efterfølgende ni år af jagt, primært elefantjagt. Det gav ham et utroligt erfaringsgrundlag. "Some of my conclusions with regard to lions, rhinoceroses, or other animal, may differ from those arrived at by other men equally competent to give an opinion; but, at all events, they are the result of a long personal experience of the beasts themselves, and have not been influenced in any way by the often unreliable stories of ‘old hunters".
Han gav bogen undertiten: "Being a Narrative of Nine Years Spent Amongst the Game of the Far Interior of South Africa Continuing Accounts of Explorations Beyond the Zambesi, on the River Chobe, and in the Matabele and Mashuna Countries, with Full Notes upon the Natural History and Present Distribution of all the Large Mamalia", og hans besrivelser af jagterne er blevet en klassiker i safarilitteraturen.
