La gioia di ruggire insieme

release date: Mar 28, 2023
La gioia di ruggire insieme
C’è tutto quel che conta in queste pagine: amicizia, amore, gioia contagiosa. Un giovane leone adulto nella savana si avvicina da lontano a due ragazzi, prima con cautela, poi travolgendoli, ma di affetto e feste, come chi è felice di ritrovare vecchi amici che non incontrava da tempo. Milioni di persone nel mondo hanno visto il video di quell’abbraccio nella natura selvaggia, uno dei più visualizzati di YouTube, e uno dei più emozionanti e commoventi mai apparsi su uno schermo, tanto da essere diventato il simbolo dell’amore che supera ogni limite e dell’amicizia che infrange ogni barriera. Ciò che ha portato due giovani australiani trapiantati a Londra fin tra le braccia di un leone nella savana keniota è il cammino imprevedibile del destino. Un paio di anni prima, mentre da turisti modello fanno acquisti da Harrods, Anthony e John si imbattono in qualcosa che li fa trasalire. In un reparto dei famosi magazzini, dove per un certo periodo, a patto di poterseli permettere, si poteva comprare qualunque animale esotico, è in vendita un cucciolo di leone di pochi mesi. I due nulla sanno di leoni, ma sanno che non possono permettere che Christian, come lo chiamano prima ancora di averlo, vada incontro a una vita di cattività. Con molto coraggio, e un pizzico di incoscienza, decidono di acquistarlo per una cifra per loro strabiliante. Inizia da qui una meravigliosa convivenza fatta di responsabilità, mobili distrutti, sfide psicologiche e fisiche con un animale dalla personalità complessa e forte, ma soprattutto di amicizia, fiducia, rispetto e amore generoso e indistruttibile. E delle scelte, a volte ardue, che chi ama prima o poi è chiamato a fare...

A Lion Called Christian

A Lion Called Christian
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A stirring tale of a rare bond formed between humans and an animal.”—Time Two men. One baby lion. What could go wrong? A Lion Called Christian tells the remarkable story of how Anthony “Ace” Bourke and John Rendall, visitors to London from Australia in 1969, bought a boisterous lion cub in the pet department of Harrods. For several months, the three of them shared a flat above a furniture shop on London’s King’s Road, where the charismatic and intelligent Christian quickly became a local celebrity, cruising the streets in the back of a Bentley, popping in for lunch at a local restaurant, even posing for a fashion advertisement. But the lion cub was growing up—fast—and soon even the walled church garden where he went for exercise wasn’t large enough for him. How could Ace and John avoid having to send Christian to a zoo for the rest of his life? A coincidental meeting with English actors Virginia McKenna and Bill Travers, stars of the hit film Born Free, led to Christian being flown to Kenya and placed under the expert care of the “father of lions” George Adamson. Incredibly, when Ace and John returned to Kenya to see Christian a year later, they received a loving welcome from their lion, who was by then fully integrated into Africa and a life with other lions. A video of this reunion has become a YouTube classic. Originally published in 1971, and now fully revised and updated with more than 50 photographs of Christian from cuddly cub in London to magnificent lion in Africa, A Lion Called Christian is a touching and uplifting true story of an indelible human-animal bond. It is destined to become one of the great classics of animal literature.

重逢, 在世界盡頭
A wondrous, serendipitous tale that tracks Christian''s migration from London streets to Kenyan wilderness and the new friends, both lion and human (notably lion expert George Adamson of Born Free fame) that he finds there. Most astonishing, however, is that in 1971, after a year''s absence, his old friends Bourke and Rendall returned to Africa and successfully reunited with Christian.
