A journey - both historical and contemporary - among the
fantastical landscapes, resourceful inhabitants and isolated tribes
of the world's fourth-largest island of enduring fascination for
its rich biodiversity: Madagascar.'A beautifully written depiction
of the history of this beguiling island' Literary Review
'Courageous, exploratory, humane and with a wry sense of humour'
Spectator 'A feat of journalism, observation and determination' Dr
Alyson Hitch 'Wonderfully witty and wry' Benedict Allen We think we
know Madagascar but it's too big, too eccentric, and too
impenetrable to be truly understood. As well as visiting every
corner of the island, John Gimlette journeys deep into Madagascar's
past. Along the way, he meets politicians, sorcerers, gem
prospectors, militiamen, rioters, lepers and the descendants of
seventeenth-century pirates. Insightful and wryly humorous, here's
an encounter with the people, landscapes, politics and history of
one of the most remarkable places on Earth.
