Benzing

A great adventure
Relic
(5 Sterne)
While some of the language is a bit dated since it is from 1918, this reads like a great adventure story, which it is! it's also an interesting insight to the profession of a naturalist in the early 20th century.

I thought a naturalist is not an avid hunter who kills whatever animal crosses his way. Nevertheless, there were some interesting parts in the book and the readers did a great job. Thank you for your time and effort! November 2021
