Representaion As Books Born Free: A Lioness of Two Worlds (Story of Elsa #1)

There have been many accounts of the return to the wild of tame animals, but since its original publication in 1960, when The New York Times hailed it as a "fascinating and remarkable book," Born Free has stood alone in its power to move us.

Joy Adamson's story of a lion cub in transition between the captivity in which she is raised and the fearsome wild to which she is returned captures the abilities of both humans and animals to cross the seemingly unbridgeable gap between their radically different worlds. Especially now, at a time when the sanctity of the wild and its inhabitants is increasingly threatened by human development and natural disaster, Adamson's remarkable tale is an idyll, and a model, to return to again and again.

Illustrated with the same beautiful, evocative photographs that first enchanted the world forty years ago and updated with a new introduction by George Page, former host and executive editor of the PBS series Nature and author of Inside the Animal Mind, this anniversary edition introduces to a new generation one of the most heartwarming associations between man and animal.

Judgment Out Of Books Born Free: A Lioness of Two Worlds (Story of Elsa #1)

I cannot remember how many times I reread this book; it was many. I also enjoyed Living Free and Forever Free although not quite as much, but it would have been impossible for me to not read those sequels as I would have been painfully curious about how the story continues.Ive cried a lot each time Ive read it because the book is so emotionally moving. The story of Elsa the lioness and her humans and Kenya was completely engrossing. I read it first when I was about 12 and it got me interested in

I have never cried so hard while reading a book. I'll never forget Elsa's story and how it made me feel. The sequels are gut-wrenching.

Born Free: A Lioness of Two Worlds By Joy Adamson Review by NeveLions have never been at my peak of interest, but the story of Joy Adamson and Elsa the lioness certainly did when I first came across this book. It retells the experience Joy and her husband George as they raised Elsa for three years. Throughout the story they travel on safaris and introduce Elsa to the natural world. Joy and Elsa develop a mother-daughter like relationship that lasts a lifetime.  I was not a fan of this story

I was just coming into my teens when I first saw the 1966 film Born Free, and along with almost everyone else, was overwhelmed by the idea: the passion and the trauma involved. The film starred Virginia McKenna as Joy Adamson, along with her real-life husband, Bill Travers. Most people now know the story of a female lion cub, who was raised in captivity, and then returned to the wild. I rushed out and bought a copy of the true story as soon as I could. This is that edition, dating from 1968, and

Before this Elsa:ANDThat adorable Kiara:There was THIS Elsa. An orphaned lion cub, the weakest of the litter that grew up into a beautiful lioness named Elsa, who got involved in many adventures with her foster parents.Oh, my goodness, how did I forget this one!!!



I read this book ages ago and I really enjoyed reading it. I also loved the film where her love for animals came shining through. Truly exceptional story.
