My Africas (Gilgamesh Contemporary Fiction) baixar livro de graça

Some books are born of a plan, others of a fever. My Africas undoubtedly belongs to the second kind. Mario Nobili does not describe Africa as a place to be visited, but as a force which, once encountered, continues to work within: it changes one’s gaze, directs desire, demands returns, ignites obsessions.
These pages gather more than twenty-five years of safaris, yet it would be reductive to read them as a mere hunting memoir. Hunting is certainly here, as are the trophies, the tracks, the animals pursued and at last encountered; but the heart of the book beats elsewhere, in that more secret place where adventure becomes autobiography. Each African journey seems to question the author about something deeply his own: courage and fear, waiting and error, solitude and friendship, the relationship with risk, with time, with a body that changes.
Nobili has the rare merit of never building a monument to himself. He does not pose as a hero of the bush, does not seek the easy emphasis of exotic storytelling, does not turn the safari into a gilded postcard. On the contrary, he writes with a frankness that is often disarming, capable of moving from irony to tension, from the technical memory of the hunt to a more human form of confession. He can describe an animal with precision, a travelling companion with sarcasm, a failure without softening it, a victory without making it rhetorical. And it is precisely this dry, personal voice that gives the book its authenticity.
The Africa that emerges from these pages is plural, concrete, magnificent and severe. It does not console, it does not tame itself, it never truly allows itself to be possessed. Those who cross it may perhaps win a trophy; but in the end it is Africa that keeps something of those who have passed through it. For this reason My Africas is not simply the account of many hunts. It is the story of a long fidelity: to a passion, to a continent, to that part of oneself which continues to search, even when it believes it has already found.
