Cazadores de elefantes, Hombres de leyenda, es un recorrido fascinante por la vida de los principales cazadores de elefantes del último siglo, protagonistas de un mundo tan amenazado como los mismos elefantes. “Los hechos que presencié no volverán a suceder jamás”, escribe el legendario John A. Hunter, cazador que cobró 1.400 elefantes, más de 1.000 rinocerontes y unos 600 leones. “La vieja África pertenece al pasado, y yo vi cómo desaparecía”, sentencia. Tony Sánchez-Ariño forma parte del selecto grupo de este pequeño grupo de cazadores de elefantes. Una circunstancia que hace que su libro, “Cazadores de elefantes, Hombres de leyenda”, sea uno de los textos más importantes jamás escritos sobre la caza, la naturaleza y la aventura en África. Crónica apasionada de una época, de un animal formidable y de unos hombres irrepetibles, dedica los capítulos iniciales a la historia del comercio del marfil, desde los primeros cargamentos que bajaron por el Nilo 1.400 años antes de Cristo hasta el descubrimiento de los cazaderos más nutridos, en el Enclave de Lado y en el Alto M´Bomú. Prólogo: Hugo Seia.
