Reviews

A profoundly moving portrait of the region... Even now, years after I first read it, The Tree Where Man was Born seems imbued with precious vision
*Sunday Times*

The skilled naturalist writer is almost as rare as the Congo peacock or the pygmy elephant - both subjects of the quest Peter Matthiessen conducts in African Silences. 'Skilled' is almost an insulting understatement for Matthiessen's sharply captivating prose
*Financial Times*

The Tree Where Man Was Born is a truly magnificent book that will be just as important 50 years from now
*Peter Farb*
