Ebook About africa; hunting; short stories; sporting Robert Ruark was perhaps the most renowned safari writer of the twentieth century. As a respected columnist and author during his lifetime, his writings have influenced thousands of hunters to travel to Africa to see the places that Ruark immortalized in his writings. Despite his impact, Ruark only wrote for a period of fifteen years, but it was a time where he lived his life to its fullest potential. He travelled all across the world in order to see and do everything he could dream of, but it was in East Africa that he came to find a spiritual home. As the area became increasingly independent of colonial rule, Ruark predicted the economic, social, and political ruin that has since been the daily reality of the region. In this detailed account of Ruark’s life, Terry Wieland has written a definitive book on Ruark, the restless traveler, and the times in which he lived, as well as his lifelong fascination with Africa.Book A View from a Tall Hill: Robert Ruark in Africa Review :
Wieland has presented a new angle on Ruark, mainly focusing on his African era (the 15 yrs beginning with his first safari until 1965). At least this is how Wieland describes his intentions in the Preface & Introduction, etc.Its probably a good goal. Decent Bio's of the enigmatic Ruark have already been written; of course their accuracy is subject to debate as are all such bio's. Wieland seems to understand this well. He also points out the melancholy fact that the people who really knew Ruark's later life are rapidly leaving us now, if not gone already. Those who knew Ruark, even secondhand, in his childhood and early adult years are already gone of course.Its those earlier years up to Africa that interest me most, and unfortunately Wieland's book is too short to cover that. He does look at it, but its "spotty"; i.e. there are gaps and the reader is left wanting to know more about the "Old Man" grandparents and Ruark's "well educated" mother, as well as her later addiction problems. Wieland leaves you tantalized but unsatisfied in this regard.I'm about halfway thru the book (I'll update this post if my opinions change) and I have one serious critique: in the hardback copy I recently received, Wieland spends almost 25 pages discussing WW2's Battle of the Atlantic - background info, convoy operations, U-boats, etc, but with absolutely NO mention of Ruark - presumably to lead up to some sort of epic chapter (no pun intended) in Ruark's war years.... Then what follows is about 10 pages about Ruark's war experience, loosely detailed, which amounted to discussing one scary convoy and then Ruark's uneventful transfer to the Pacific, where he was injured in a Jeep vehicle accident. In other words, the whole war buildup chapter just petered out into nothing...This sort of writing is immature, in my opinion. At its best its incomplete, as Wieland never seems to develop his themes very far. At its worst, its a waste of money for anyone buying the book and expecting serious biographical scholarship.I'm uneasy at what I'll find when I get to the bona-fide African chapters. If it follows the same format as above (scratching the surface of possibly important themes in RR's life, jumping here and there, and including useless information as filler), then this book is worthless. Regretfully, this may be why the book was not on the shelves at Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million and Borders in Charlotte NC - it's just not that good. I had to order it on-line.I'll post an update when I finish it - but I wanted to offer this immediately for potential buyers.Update 26 June '08:I can't quite get thru this one. Finally put it down about 2 weeks ago and haven't touched it since....I also ordered "Ruark Remembered" by Ritchie, and it too transitions rapidly from his early years to safari/scandal/scotch days of fame...I dunno; just can't find a true BIOGRAPHY on this guy, with some photos maybe (?!?) of his childhood, parents, etc etc...If anyone has suggestions, please post me a Comment. Thanx. This was a great, well written and insightful presentation not only about Robert Ruark but plenty obscure historical facts re both WWII, and Africa. Great perspective on authors and writing as well.
