In 1992, in a remote mountain range, a team of scientists
discovered the remains of an unusual animal with beautiful long
horns. It turned out to be a living species new to western science
-- a saola, the first large land mammal discovered in 50 years.
Rare then and rarer now, no westerner had glimpsed a live saola
before Pulitzer Prize finalist and nature writer William deBuys and
conservation biologist William Robichaud set off to search for it
in the wilds of central Laos. The team endured a punishing trek, up
and down whitewater rivers and through mountainous terrain ribboned
with the snare lines of armed poachers. In the tradition of Bruce
Chatwin, Colin Thubron, and Peter Matthiessen, THE LAST UNICORN is
deBuys's look deep into one of the world's most remote places. As
in the pursuit of the unicorn, the journey ultimately becomes a
quest for the essence of wildness in nature, and an encounter with
beauty.
