John Hoyte
Autore di Alpine Elephant: In Hannibal's Tracks
Sull'Autore
As on of six children of British medical missionaries in China, John Hoyte grew up in a life built on family and faith. During World War II, he and his siblings, separated from their parents, were interned for nearly four years by the Japanese military. Grit, determination, and imagination were the mostra altro only way to survive-and these became the basis for the next seven decades. John's amazing exploits included leading an elephant over the Alps to follow Hannibal's tracks and perfecting an invention that launched a fifty-year career in Silicon Valley. His earlier book, Alpine Elephant, is now available as an ebook and as a paperback through Amazon. He created the whimsical sketches and maps in both Alpine Elephant and Persistence of Light. John lives in Bellingham, Washington, with his wife, the poet Luci Shaw. His hobbies are sailing, pen-and-ink sketching, landscape painting, and playing classical guitar.

Trunk Road for Hannibal: With an Elephant over the… di John Hoyte
A group of earnest young Brits attempt to resolve the apparently hotly debated question of Hannibal’s route over the Alps by taking an elephant (on loan from the Turin zoo) on a twelve day journey from Montmélian, France to Susa, Italy. Monty Pythonesque, but with a scholarly twist. Thoroughly charming.
