Edition DescriptionLimited
SynopsisRobert Ruark was unquestionably the most influential safari writer of the latter 20th century. He was a nationally renowned columnist and author during his lifetime, and since his death in 1965, his writings have continued to inspire both hunters who travel to Africa and those who can only dream of going there. In this book, Terry Wieland has not written a biography in the strict sense, but has written about Ruark and his work, the times in which he lived, and the strange allure that Africa had for him--an irresistible fascination Ruark repaid by immortalizing Kenya as if it were a first, tender love., Robert Ruark was the most influential safari writer of the latter 20th century. He was a nationally renowned columnist and author, who inspired both hunters who traveled to Africa and those who could only dream about it. This is a biography of Ruark--about his work, the times in which he lived, and the strange allure that Africa held for him.
