Fascinating account of the author's trek across India on an elephant. The story starts as he decides to do this slightly crazy feat, and then tells of the difficulty of purchasing an elephant. Tara, when he buys her, has not been well-treated, but with love and good food she soon becomes a beautiful animal. We learn just how many people are needed to look after and drive an elephant, meet some fascinating characters along the way, and discover a great deal about Indian culture. Written with some humour in a very readable style. ( ) Un libro sorprendente scritto con spontaneità e in uno stile avvincente da un viaggiatore innamorato dell'India. Un viaggio assolutamente "sui generis" in groppa a Tara, l'elefante comprato da povera gente, un percorso incredibile durante il quale l'India si svela in tutta la sua bellezza e si sviluppa la storia di una profonda amicizia tra Mark e Tara. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

This book tells the story of one man's adventures with an elephant. There is no better way to see India than on the back of an elephant, which is exactly what Mark Shand discovered as he set out on a 1000 kilometre journey on Tara, a 30-year old female elephant. Their destination was the Sonepur Mela, the world's oldest elephant market. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
