C’est l’histoire immémoriale de l’ascension puis du déclin d’un seigneur de la savane, l’éléphant. Un récit fait d’amitiés, de loyautés et de trahisons. Un drame shakespearien sous le soleil de Namibie, au cœur du parc national d’Etosha, devant les yeux de Caitlin O’Connell.
La chercheuse découvre au fil de ses vingt ans de terrain, que contrairement à ce que l’on pensait depuis longtemps, tous ces mâles, jeunes et vieux, forts ou fluets, grands et petits font société.
