His adventures and explorations took place mainly in Africa starting from the first half of the nineteenth century. He was a close friend and hunting guide of U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt and was one of Cecil Rhodes' most active agents in the colonial conquest of Southeastern and Southwestern Africa. He wrote many books on hunting, exploration, nature, and geography. In his honour, one of the largest and most beautiful natural parks in Africa was named after him, the Selous National Park in Tanzania, where his tombstone is located as he was killed in combat there by a German unit during World War I. This is the first work written by Selous, narrating his first two hunting adventures in one of the most remote and dangerous places in Africa, where he hunted to survive and for ivory armed with only two smoothbore muzzleloading rifles, caliber 4 and 10. This is the most beautiful hunting adventure book ever written. In the book’s Introduction, the Translator also provides a detailed History of Selous and all the firearms and ammunition he used for all his exploits. The Original Work in free PDF is available for those who purchase the Italian Translation! An indispensable book for the hunter’s library!

Le sue avventure ed esplorazioni si svolsero soprattutto in Africa a partire dalla prima metà dell’Ottocento. Fu intimo amico e guida di caccia del Presidente degli Stati Uniti Theodore Roosevelt e fu uno dei bracci più attivi di Cecil Rhodes nella conquista coloniale dell’Africa Sud-Orientale e Sud-Occidentale. Scrisse molti libri sia di caccia ed esplorazione che di natura e geografia. In suo onore è stato nominato uno dei parchi naturali più grandi e belli d’Africa, il Parco Nazionale di Selous in Tanzania, dove si trova la sua pietra tombale poiché ivi ucciso in combattimento da un reparto tedesco nella Prima Guerra Mondiale. Questa è la prima opera scritta da Selous che narra la sue prime due avventure di caccia in uno dei luoghi più remoti e pericolosi dell’Africa dove cacciò per sopravvivere e per l’avorio armato di due soli fucili a canna liscia calibro 4 e 10 ad avancarica. Questo è il libro di avventure di caccia più bello mai scritto. Nella Introduzione del Libro il Traduttore fornisce anche una dettagliata Storia di Selous e di tutte le armi e le munizioni che utilizzò per tutte le sue imprese. Disponibile l’Opera Originale Gratuita in PDF per chi acquista la Traduzione in Italiano! Un libro indispensabile alla biblioteca del cacciatore!
