Commentary Toward Books Elephant Song
Blood was the fertiliser that made the African soil bloom...From under the shadow of the Mountains of the Moon and the deep, brooding Forests of the Tall Trees, to the hidden opulence of Taiwan and the panelled boardrooms of power in the heart of London, a tough, determined man and a dedicated woman begin their fight against the forces of greed, evil and corruption...
In Zimbabwe, Dr Daniel Armstrong, world-famous TV naturalist, films the slaughter of a herd of elephant: closing in as their blood stains the soil and their death song echoes around the stillness of the valley, his professionalism is tinged with a deep sadness.
In London, anthropologist Kelly Kinnear is forced into violent confrontation with the shareholders of the most powerful conglomerate in the City of London, warning them of the destruction of an African country and of a people – the Bambuti – she has come to love as her own.
Combining breathtaking realism with thrilling suspense, Elephant Song is a gripping adventure from the world's master storyteller – a journey deep into the heart of a wild, magnificent continent, threatened for ever by the destructive hand of man.
* ' With Wilbur Smith the action is never further than the turn of a page.'
– The Independent
* 'Sex, money, ambition fear and blood ... an emotional stampede.'

Usually love Wilbur Smith, however this book got in to some really sick situations. A little more then I could handle.Beautiful Story; Hasty Ending The thing I have always liked about Wilbur Smith is his attention to detail. He writes about distant cultures and environments and always succeeds in bringing it close to his readers. He succeeds yet again in this highly important story about effects of the brutal deforestation in Africa. The book transports the continent to the reader's living room with all of it's sounds, smells and scenery. While the scenic beauty urges your inner tourist to plan your next
Another revisited book. Very violent, moving book about the ivory trade in Africa.
It was an informative, but brutal read. As with all his books I've read, Wilbur Smith does not shy away from violent details about terrible things that happened in Africa. I did have to skip some of what was written, as it was too brutal, even for me. However, I do recommend to persevere, as the amount of detail into the history of Africa; and especially the vivid display of fascinating characters.All his characters are brought to life, you either hate or love them. It is difficult to be in the
This book -like the other Wilbur Smith book I've read- is a heavily researched book, it highlights a lot of the African culture and problems at the time with detailed spectacular descriptions of African scenery. However this book revolves around a very different theme from the hunting and adventure one presented in Assegai, it highlights a fraction of the political, economical & social problems in Africa after the colonization and how these affected the delicate ecological system of the rain
After journeying through the Utopian vs. Dystopian saga of the Hunger Games, I have now entered the dimensions of the Wilbur Smith novels. As a welcoming ceremony for entering a new literary dimension I leaved through the authors Standalone novel, i.e., novel that doesn't form a part of any of his other series...Elephant Song......and I was pleasantly surprised.So far I have only read a few literary works, young adult, paranormal, fantasy, detection, sci-fi and few more so coming across Elephant
Greed, Pity, Oppression, Lust, Violence, Perversion and what not. A mixture of all sort of emotions with a story of the life of a forest, race and the beautiful beasts.
