Narrative Supposing Books Elephant Song

Blood was the fertiliser that made the African soil bloom...

From under the shadow of the Mountains of the Moon and the deep, brooding Forests of the Tall Trees, to the hidden opulence of Taiwan and the panelled boardrooms of power in the heart of London, a tough, determined man and a dedicated woman begin their fight against the forces of greed, evil and corruption...

In Zimbabwe, Dr Daniel Armstrong, world-famous TV naturalist, films the slaughter of a herd of elephant: closing in as their blood stains the soil and their death song echoes around the stillness of the valley, his professionalism is tinged with a deep sadness.

In London, anthropologist Kelly Kinnear is forced into violent confrontation with the shareholders of the most powerful conglomerate in the City of London, warning them of the destruction of an African country and of a people – the Bambuti – she has come to love as her own.

Combining breathtaking realism with thrilling suspense, Elephant Song is a gripping adventure from the world's master storyteller – a journey deep into the heart of a wild, magnificent continent, threatened for ever by the destructive hand of man.

* ' With Wilbur Smith the action is never further than the turn of a page.'

Write-Up Containing Books Elephant Song

Another revisited book. Very violent, moving book about the ivory trade in Africa.

Greed, Pity, Oppression, Lust, Violence, Perversion and what not. A mixture of all sort of emotions with a story of the life of a forest, race and the beautiful beasts.

This was a page turner, easy to read and with a story I wanted to follow. However, some parts were a bit too far fetched and I couldn't buy into them. The violence was also over the top. The elephant culling scene and its aftermath were atrocious.

It was my first book by Wilbur Smith so it took me quite a while to read ! 8 weeks ! He didn't really have a certain plot but this book did not fail to impress me.

This book -like the other Wilbur Smith book I've read- is a heavily researched book, it highlights a lot of the African culture and problems at the time with detailed spectacular descriptions of African scenery. However this book revolves around a very different theme from the hunting and adventure one presented in Assegai, it highlights a fraction of the political, economical & social problems in Africa after the colonization and how these affected the delicate ecological system of the rain

After journeying through the Utopian vs. Dystopian saga of the Hunger Games, I have now entered the dimensions of the Wilbur Smith novels. As a welcoming ceremony for entering a new literary dimension I leaved through the authors Standalone novel, i.e., novel that doesn't form a part of any of his other series...Elephant Song......and I was pleasantly surprised.So far I have only read a few literary works, young adult, paranormal, fantasy, detection, sci-fi and few more so coming across Elephant
