Reseña del editor:

Peter Beard ha realizzato questo libro in venti anni di lavoro, fotografando, scrivendo e facendo ricerche. "The end of the game" racconta la storia degli imprenditori, cacciatore, missionari e esploratori la cui sete di avventura e progresso ha completamente cambiato il volto dell'Africa del ventesimo secolo. Questo volume raccoglie centinaia di fotografie d'epoca e racconta storie del continente nero, a cominciare dalla costruzione della ferrovia di Mombasa che aprì la via per l'Africa nera.

Biografía del autor:

Born in New York City in 1938, Peter Beard began taking photographs and keeping diaries from early childhood. By the time he graduated from Yale University, he had developed a keen interest in Africa. Throughout the 1960s and '70s he worked in Tsavo Park, the Aberdares, and Lake Rudolf in Kenya's northern frontier. His first show came in 1975 at the Blum Helman Gallery, and was followed in 1977 by the landmark installation of elephant carcasses, burned diaries, taxidermy, African artifacts, books and personal memorabilia at New York's International Center for Photography. In addition to creating original artwork, Beard has also worked as a Vogue photographer and collaborated on projects with Andy Warhol, Andrew Wyeth, Richard Linder, Terry Southern, Truman Capote, and Francis Bacon. In 1996, shortly after Beard was trampled by an elephant, his first major retrospective took place at the Centre National de la Photographie in Paris, France, followed by shows in Berlin, London, Milan, Stockholm, Tokyo, and Vienna, among others. He lives in New York City, Long Island, and Kenya with his wife, Nejma, and daughter, Zara.
