Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"A sprightly and informative travel adventure." "Caputo gives us Africa in all of its parched and scrubby beauty, a land raw and primitive, inhabited by jakals and hyenas, acacia trees and watering holes--and, of course, lions that occasionally prey on homo sapiens." "Ghosts of Tsavo makes for great summer reading."

Reseña del editor:

1898, Tsavo River Kenya, the British Empire has employed 140 workers to build a railroad bridge. The bridge's construction comes to a violent halt when two maneless lions devour all 140 workers in a savage feeding frenzy that would make headlines and history all over the world. Caputo's Ghosts of Tsavo is a new quest for truth about the origins of these near-mythical animals and how they became predators of human flesh.". NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
