MA VIE AVEC LES CHEVAUX DU BOUT DU MONDE ; LA VERITABLE HISTOIRE DES CHEVAUX DU DESERT NAMIBIEN
FAVRE 2001. Paperback. Very Good. Couverture souple. �tat d'usage: comme neuf. Ce r�cit passionnant constitue la r��dition r�actualis�e de J'irai jusqu'au bout du monde publi� pour la premi�re fois en 1994 aux �ditions Belfond et qui a re�u le grand prix du livre de l'aventure v�cue. C'est l'histoire extraordinaire de Jacqueline Ripart qui a d�clench� le coup de coeur de Jean-Jacques Annaud pour les chevaux du d�sert de Namibie. L'h�ro�ne lui confiera son �tude ses cahiers de notes et ses archives. De cette rencontre est n� un film Crini�re au vent produit par Jean-Jacques Annaud. Depuis toute petite Jacqueline Ripart ne vit que pour l'amour des chevaux. Une passion solitaire �maill�e de liens singuliers et �mouvants. Un jour de 1989 elle apprend qu'un myst�rieux troupeau de chevaux sauvages erre dans le d�sert br�lant de Namibie l� o� personne ne soup�onne leur existence tant les rigueurs du climat rendent leur pr�sence incroyable. Depuis la d�couverte de diamants en 1907 ce territoire est d�clar� zone interdite d'acc�s. D�termin�e et pers�v�rante elle r�ussit toutefois � obtenir l'autorisation de s'y rendre. Avec une tente pour tout abri elle vit plusieurs mois � leurs c�t�s pour les conna�tre et �tudier leur comportement. Parlant avec eux le langage universel des chevaux elle r�ussit � faire sa place parmi ces fant�mes du d�sert qui ignorent tout des humains. Pourtant les humains font partie de leur pass� car ils ne sont pas arriv�s l� par hasard. C'est en 1907 qu'un riche baron allemand s'installe avec des chevaux sur une ferme de cinquante mille hectares aux confins du Namib pour fournir la remonte de la cavalerie allemande d�tach�e en Namibie depuis la signature du trait� de Berlin en 1884. En 1913 l'arm�e sud-africaine envahit le pays les cavaliers de Guillaume II s'enfuient et les chevaux sont laiss�s � eux-m�mes dans ce territoire d�sert� par les hommes. C'est l� que commencent le destin extraordinaire et l'�volution myst�rieuse de ces chevaux oubli�s de la civilisation. <br/> <br/> FAVRE paperback

WE ETRUSCANS Old and New in a Forgotten Landscape
Lutterworth Press. Very Good. 2005. Paperback. 0718830539 . Gift inscription from author to Emmet Robbins on half-title. Minor shelfwear. ; Accompany Anna Rist on her personal journey through changes and transformations between the old and the new in Italian rural life in Semproniano. This is no ordinary account of a British expatriate who has taken up residence in beautiful and enigmatic Tuscany. The Author warmly and vividly describes an impressive thirty-year time scale which depicts an evolution of countryside life and mores in Toscana sconosciuta a view of Tuscany away from the tourist track. Meet dynamic characters such as Merope who cooks fine examples of traditional Tuscan cucina or Albano whose aspirated 'c's make his tours of churches hard to comprehend. This fascinating portrayal also goes beyond being a record of a unique experience as the author provides a wealth of information on the art history politics and religion of the region. Rist's academic background in Classics comes through strongly within the text as the reader is guided through elements of a classical Tuscany. Aspects of the enduring Catholicism of the region also feature centrally in a depiction of a transforming 'Old Europe' in the latter twentieth-century. ; 198 pages . Lutterworth Press paperback
