Histoire5 out of 5 stars 5
When South African conservationist Lawrence Anthony was asked to accept a herd of "rogue" wild elephants on his Thula Thula game reserve in Zululand, his common sense told him to refuse. But he was the herd's last chance of survival: they would be killed if he wouldn't take them. In order to save their lives, Anthony took them in. In the years that followed he became a part of their family. And as he battled to create a bond with the elephants, he came to realize that they had a great deal to teach him about life, loyalty, and freedom.

When Lawrence Anthony learned that the northern white rhino, living in the war-ravaged Congo, was on the very brink of extinction, he knew he had to act. If the world lost the sub-species, it would be the largest land mammal since the woolly mammoth to go extinct. In The Last Rhinos, Anthony recounts his attempts to save these remarkable animals. The demand for rhino horns in the Far East has turned poaching into a dangerous black market that threatens the lives of not just these rare beasts, but also the rangers who protect them.

When the Iraq war began, conservationist Lawrence Anthony could think of only one thing: the fate of the Baghdad Zoo, caught in the crossfire at the heart of the city. Once Anthony entered Iraq, he discovered that hostilities and uncontrolled looting had devastated the zoo and its animals. Working with members of the zoo staff and a few compassionate U.S. soldiers, Anthony defended the zoo, bartered for food on war-torn streets, and scoured bombed palaces for desperately needed supplies.

When Edmund Hillary first conquered Mt. Everest, Sherpa Tenzing Norgay was at his side. Indeed, for as long as Westerners have been climbing the Himalaya, Sherpas have been the unsung heroes in the background. In August 2008, when eleven climbers lost their lives on K2, the world’s most dangerous peak, two Sherpas survived. They had emerged from poverty and political turmoil to become two of the most skillful mountaineers on earth. Based on unprecedented access and interviews, Buried in the Sky reveals their astonishing story for the first time.

Description
The international best seller
"Malby-Anthony offers a book of great inspiration and wide appeal to nature-loving readers." (Publishers Weekly)
A heart-warming sequel to the international best seller The Elephant Whisperer by Lawrence Anthony's wife Françoise Malby-Anthony.
A chic Parisienne, Françoise never expected to find herself living on a South African game reserve. But then, she fell in love with conservationist Lawrence Anthony, and everything changed. After Lawrence’s death, Françoise faced the daunting responsibility of running Thula Thula without him. Poachers attacked their rhinos, their security team wouldn’t take orders from a woman, and the authorities were threatening to cull their beloved elephant family. On top of that, the herd’s feisty new matriarch, Frankie, didn’t like her.
In this heart-warming and moving audiobook, Françoise describes how she fought to protect the herd and to make her dream of building a wildlife rescue center a reality. She found herself caring for a lost baby elephant who turned up at her house and offering refuge to traumatized orphaned rhinos and a hippo called Charlie who was scared of water. As she learned to trust herself, she discovered she’d had Frankie wrong all along.
Filled with extraordinary animals and the humans who dedicate their lives to saving them, An Elephant in My Kitchen is a captivating and gripping listen.

Heartbreaking, inspiring and informative
Very moving, heartwarming and at times heartbreaking. Well written. This is my fourth book after listening to The Elephant Whisperer, The Last Rhinos and Babylons Ark. Looking forward to The Elephants of Thula Thula. I wish I had listened to them before our safari trip to Southern Africa. Also, wish I could see actual pictures of Nana and the herd. Loving all these stories.

Wonderful Book !!
I absolutely loved this book! I had already listened to Lawrence Anthony's book called "The Elephant Whisperer", so listening to his wife's memoir in this book was a no-brainer. The story paints such a beautiful picture of South Africa and all of its wildlife and gorgeous landscapes. I hope to one day visit Thula Thula, to meet some of the characters (human and otherwise!) from the book. Do yourself a favour and give this one a listen - it truly is heart-warming and wonderful!

Moving
Very moving… and at times heartbreaking. That there are people who can be cruel to animals, let alone poach them, or hunt them, for that matter, never fails to confound me. This is equaled by my awe for those who care for and heal these animals. Stories of recovering from the traumas encountered along the way is moving.
