Review
"This thought-provoking tale is beautifully told and deals with, among other issues, man's relationship with nature." --The Sun, July 25, 2008
Product Description
In an African country, while a civil war rages, Kibwe and Zuberi meet. Both are twelve years old, both are orphans; Kibwe's parents killed in the name of war and Zuberi's in the name of trade. Kibwe is a boy and Zuberi a gorilla, a young silverback. They are on the run: Kibwe, from the horrors he has committed as a child soldier, and Zuberi, from the violent hand of man. The former is desperate to reclaim his humanity; the latter, determined to have a family once more. Can they help one another get back what each has lost?

This book has to be Nicks' best yet. This author truly makes the reader feel for the characters and events that follow.
Well done Nick!

In this book Nick Taussig evidences his intelligence, humility and humanity by juxtaposing the lives of two higher primates - one of which writes books. The author also thus renders the barriers we erect between our species and others to protect our sense of uniqueness otiose - or at least calls them (quite rightly) into question. Good research lends insight and texture. Avoidance of grandiose prose renders the text unpretentious and distinctly moorish! Perhaps the world would do well to read and ponder? Congratulations, Nick.
Format:Hardcover
I remember at school being forced to read books of no particular importance. Maybe every child and prisoner should be forced to read this to highlight the simplistics of life and exhistence.
