Pro Reviews: Tree Where Man Was Born
Entwined with...curiosity about the dim past is Mr. Matthiessen's second and to me more engrossing theme: his observations of the natives, the landscape, the wildlife he encountered....[Eliot Porter's] sense of composition is flawless....Taken together these two artists have discovered for me an Africa I have never seen or properly appreciated before.
[He] is a fine writer, searching for 'this glimpse of the earth's morning,' he skillfully blends history and anthropology with precise observations of animals and landscapes. He tells us exactly what he sees and hears and feels....[Eliot Porter's] portraits of animals convey a formality and dignity that I have seen in no others. Porter's special genius is for seizing the essence of the beast.
Publisher Notes: Tree Where Man Was Born
- In this classic volume, Matthiessen exquisitely combines both nature and travel writing to bring East Africa to vivid life. He skillfully portrays the daily lives of herdsmen and hunter-gatherers; the drama of the predator kills; the hundreds of exotic animals; the breathtaking landscapes; and the area's turbulent natural, political, and social histories.
