Description
A young man from revolutionary Russia sets down his story in a country house in England. His account begins with a vivid description of a ball in St Petersburg and an extraordinary event involving a huge African elephant. A century later, an American academic questions the accuracy of this tale, wondering if it was ever more than just a fanciful invention. The boundaries between fact and fiction blur as we consider the power of storytelling to shape our understanding of the world. This novel explores the complexities of memory, identity, and the human experience. Paul Pickering's Elephant is a thought-provoking exploration of the ways in which our perceptions can be shaped by the stories we tell ourselves and others.
