BOOK AFRICAN EPIC - HARLAND

But like all good and interesting stories, this title is more than just a book on elephant hunting: It is about a person who through his grit and single-minded determination managed to eke a living out of an extremely harsh land, and he made a good living. Pioneering days in colonial Africa were hard, and the people who stayed alive and succeeded were, indeed, a tough breed. Paul Grobler is such a man, and the story clearly shows it. Full of historical black and white pictures, the book is testimony to a type of human being who no longer exists in the modern world—a person and time hard to imagine for most of us in the twenty-first century. On the jacket it is stated without exaggeration: “For sheer weight of experience he is, and will remain, unsurpassed.” Truer words have never been written!
