Summary: Excellent nature writing combined with great art.
Comment: "Shadows of Africa" is a collection of Peter Matthiessen's writings about the African continent, its wildlife and indigenous cultures. These beautiful writings, at times lyrical, at other times documentary, convey the past, present and future of the continent. The writing is supplemented by Mary Frank's beautiful impressionistic drawings that reflect her feelings toward Matthiessen's prose. The reader is submerged in East African savannas as well as in West African rainforests. The author's description of Botswana's wildlife is a real gem. The descriptions of Chobe national park, Savuti and Okavango delta transplant the reader to these magical places. The prose makes you feel, see and smell Southern African bush. This collection of nature writings and drawings is as timeless as Africa itself. Great book to read as well as to possess!
