Zarafa
In the fall of 1826, a ship arrived at Marseilles carrying the first giraffe ever seen in France. A royal offering from Muhammad Ali, Ottoman Viceroy of Egypt, to King Charles X of France. Zarafa takes readers on a historical journey, emanating from the roots of the French Revolution and Napoleon's subsequent invasion of Egypt, to show how the giraffe's remarkable life helped link Africa and Europe in mutual discovery.
