Joy Adamson: Born Free: A Lioness of Two Worlds

Born Free: A Lioness of Two Worlds


Description

There have been many accounts of the return to the wild of tame animals, but since its original publication in 1960, when the "New York Times" hailed it as a "fascinating and remarkable book," Born Free has stood alone in its power to move us. Joy Adamson's story of a lion cub in transition between the captivity in which she is raised and the fearsome wild to which she is returned captures the abilities of both humans and animals to cross the seemingly unbridgeable gap between their radically different worlds. Especially now, at a time when the sanctity of the wild and its inhabitants is increasingly threatened by human development and natural disaster, Adamson's remarkable tale is an idyll, and a model, to return to again and again. Illustrated with the same beautiful, evocative photographs that first enchanted the world forty years ago and updated with a new introduction by George Page, former host and executive editor of the PBS series "Nature" and author of "Inside the Animal Mind, " this anniversary edition introduces to a new generation one of the most heartwarming associations between man and animal.

Following the success of the hugely popular "Little Books of Vintage" series, come three sequels: "Terror", "Love" and "Space". Born Free: A Lioness of Two Worlds download book Each one is packed with unseen strips, adverts and text stories from the Golden Age of comics. Plus, each one comes with a brand new introduction giving a brief history of the genre, and each title has its own, unique free fridge magnet. A Momentous Happening He strove not only for abolition and independence, but to build Saint-Domingue's economic might and elevate his own social standing. He helped free Saint-Domingue's slaves yet immediately restricted their rights in the interests of protecting the island's sugar production. He warded off French invasions but embraced the cultural model of the French gentility. In death, Louverture quickly passed into legend, his memory inspiring abolitionist, black nationalist, and anti-colonialist movements well into the 20th century. Deeply researched and bracingly original, Toussaint Louverture is the definitive biography of one of the most influential people of his era, or any other.
