Kai-Uwe Denker: Along the Hunter's Path

Sprache: Englisch

von Kai-Uwe Denker  - 2. Auflage, Namibia 2006

»... when I turned the last page, I was of the opinion that I had read, after Harry Manners' Kambaku, probably one of the most significant Africa books of the last decades. Along the hunter's path is in my view the book on African hunting par excellence, the creed of a thoroughly passionate professional hunter ... The gripping hunting scenes, embedded in atmospheric landscape images, are often such breathtaking reality that one repeatedly feels transposed into the role of the hunter, imagining the feel of dust, heat, sweat or scent of the wild after rain. Please allow an old man such a jugdement, who himself spent uncounted hours following elephant tracks almost half a century ago and who, while reading these lines, believes he is experiencing everything once more.«
