Lidožraví lvi ze Tsava a další dobrodružství z východní Afriky – Patterson John Henry (2023)

A true story from Africa about a pair of man-eating lions who killed many workers during the construction of a railway in 1898. At a time when Africa became a battleground for European powers and colonization reached its peak, Britain set out to build a railway connection between the eastern coast and Lake Victoria. However, what was meant to be a triumph of technological progress quickly turned into a nightmare. Two man-eating lions began to ruthlessly hunt the workers building a bridge over the Tsavo River, unleashing a bloody hell over nine months and halting the entire construction project. ***** Engineer John Patterson was the only one who managed to confront the brutal beasts, and he vividly recounted his adventures in this book. His gripping narrative of courage, perseverance, and the indomitable human spirit in the face of unimaginable challenges remains immensely popular even more than a hundred years later, as evidenced by several film adaptations, including the famous movie 'The Ghost and the Darkness' starring Michael Douglas and Val Kilmer. ***** Discover the cult story in its original, unaltered form, captivating generations and now available for the first time in Czech.
