Orphaned by poachers as a calf and sold into a life of labor, Gravedigger has broken free of his chains and is terrorizing the South Indian countryside. Caught up in the violence are the studious younger son of a rice farmer drawn into the sordid world of poaching; and a young American documentary filmmaker engaged in a risky affair with the veterinarian who is her subject. In three intertwined storylines--one of them narrated by the elephant himself--Tania James crafts a heartbreaking tale of the ivory trade, exploring the porous boundary between conservation and corruption.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tania James\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804173435\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804173438\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/09\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Tania James","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981255999743,"sku":"9780804173438","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_352fdf90-c32d-41e6-a79f-353a79e79af6.jpg?v=1683254518","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-tusk-that-did-the-tania-james-9780804173438","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
