"The deeper the white man went into Africa, the faster the life
flowed out of it, off the plains and out of the bush...vanishing in
acres of trophies and hides and carcasses." - Peter Beard A
landmark publication on Africa, The End of the Game combines Peter
Beard's salient text and remarkable photographs to document the
overpopulation and starvation of tens of thousands of elephants,
rhinos, and hippos in Kenya's Tsavo lowlands and Uganda parklands
in the 1960s and '70s. Researched and compiled over two decades,
Beard's work is a powerful and poignant testimony to the damage
done by human intervention in Africa. His own images and texts are
supplemented by historical photographs of, and writings from, the
enterprisers, explorers, missionaries, and big-game hunters whose
quest for adventure and "progress" were to change the face of a
continent: Theodore Roosevelt, Frederick Courteney Selous, Karen
Blixen (Isak Dinesen), Philip Percival, J.A. Hunter, Ernest
Hemingway, and J.H. Patterson. Marking the 50th anniversary of its
first publication, TASCHEN now republishes The End of the Game in a
limited edition of 5,000 copies, with an updated foreword by
internationally renowned travel and fiction writer Paul Theroux.
Touching on such themes as distance from nature, density and
stress, and loss of common sense, this seminal portrait is as
resonant today, amid growing environmental crises, as it was a half
century ago.
