Showing results for "The Elephant" in World Literature

Having thwarted murderous poachers, the Veteran, Thandi and Mkhize are back in a new fight—battling to save elephant herds form being callously killed for their ivory, whilst trying to block wholesale political corruption and money laundering in contemporary South Africa. Will dwindling elephant numbers be reversed? Will the forces of good triumph over the vicious looters? Can the annual trillion-dollar money laundering trade be brought to heel by a brave whistleblower?

In this moving fictional treatment of a Muslim woman's life, a personal and family crisis impells the heroine to reexamine traditional cultural attitudes toward women. Cast out and divorced by her husband, she finds herself in a strange new world. Both obstacles and support systems change as she actively participates in the struggle for Moroccan independence from France.

This poem explores the life of elephants in their natural habitat and in captivity, and details their relentless destruction at the hands of man. Evocatively read by the author.
