Talks about giraffes from the moment of their capture in Africa to their deaths behind the Iron Curtain. This book presents a story about strangeness, about creatures that are alien. It is also about captivity, about Czechoslovakia, a middling totalitarian state in the middle of Europe, a nation of sleepwalkers.
In 1975, on the eve of May Day, secret police sealed off a zoo in a small Czechoslovakian town and ordered the destruction of the largest captive herd of giraffes in the world.
