The American edition of Romain Gary’s first book published on American soil, which he had reached in the summer of 1952, was issued in September 1953 in New York. Gary was already at work on Les Racines du ciel and had become passionately devoted to elephants and their protection, despite a grueling workload at the United Nations.
