A Lion Called Christian pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
In 2008 an extraordinary two-minute film clip appeared on YouTube and immediately became an international phenomenon. It captures the moving reunion of two young men and their pet lion Christian, after they had left him in Africa with "Born Free's "George Adamson to introduce him into his rightful home in the wild.
"A Lion Called Christian "tells the remarkable story of how Anthony "Ace" Bourke and John Rendall, visitors to London from Australia in 1969, bought the boisterous lion cub in the pet department of Harrods. For several months, the three of them shared a flat above a furniture shop on London's King's Road, where the charismatic and intelligent Christian quickly became a local celebrity, cruising the streets in the back of a Bentley, popping in for lunch at a local restaurant, even posing for a fashion advertisement. But the lion cub was growing up--"fast"--and soon even the walled church garden where he went for exercise wasn't large enough for him. How could Ace and John avoid having to send Christian to a zoo for the rest of his life? A coincidental meeting with English actors Virginia McKenna and Bill Travers, stars of the hit film "Born Free," led to Christian being flown to Kenya and placed under the expert care of "the father of lions" George Adamson. Incredibly, when Ace and John returned to Kenya to see Christian a year later, they received a loving welcome from their lion, who was by then fully integrated into Africa and a life with other lions.
Originally published in 1971, and now fully revised and updated with more than 50 photographs of Christian from cuddly cub in London to magnificent lion in Africa, " A Lion Called Christian "is a touching and uplifting true story of an indelible human-animal bond. It is is destined to become one of the great classics of animal literature.

评分还行,很薄的一本小书,纸质盗版原版书
在不靠谱的领养了一头大猫做宠物后,才开始思考这头大猫的去留问题。虽然结局是美好的,但是从一开始不负责任的决定到最后成功把这个担子卸下(其实是没有能力抚养后放归自然),并不能说是个好的典范。 温馨的是在养大这个宠物的过程中,他们对其灌输的爱和尊重是真实的,在这...

评分一头狮子和两个男孩的真实故事,写成一本书,对于见惯了大风大浪的我们,也许是缺点冲击性的。尽管这个狮子的故事很酷也很感人,但或多或少,挠心挠肺的故事听了太多也看了太多,要如何出彩?看似是一个难题,其实也简单,最深切的感动,往往来自最朴实的讲述。平实、诚恳、剔...
