About the book: 2001 / Lewis Kotlow, American traveler and film director, member of the English Geographical Society, circumnavigated the globe three times and visited the tropics of Africa three times. The author photographed lions in the savannah, a gorilla in a tropical forest on the slopes of the Moon Mountains, hippopotamuses on the river shallows... Having completed his journey, Kotlow exchanges his movie camera for an essayist’s pen, sits down at the table and begins a fascinating story about his African travels... Only in Africa can you “sit over tea” together with a kudu antelope, a monkey, a zebra, a hyena and an attractive woman. And in addition, two white owls will watch you and accompany the tea drinking with sour comments. But such a meeting in Africa is possible only in one place - on the big Carr Hartley’s “fur trapping farm”, located at the foot of Mount Kenya... Lewis Kotlow
