Beschrijving boek
In this edition, they are brought together in a single volume for the first time:
Man-Eaters of Kumaon, The Temple Tiger and More Man-Eaters of Kumaon and The Man-Eating Leopard of Rudraprayag, the three classic collections of Corbett's hunting stories, which vividly bring to life the drama and beauty of the jungle and its wildlife.
Man-eaters of Kumaon contains fascinating stories of tracking and shooting of man-eaters in the Indian Himalaya during the early years of the last century. The stories in The Temple Tiger display Corbett’s acute awareness of sights, sounds, and life in the Indian forests, as well as his love for the human beings living in the hunting terrain. Finally, perhaps the most exciting of all of Corbett’s jungle tales, The Man-eating Leopard of Rudraprayag is a gripping narrative of a notorious leopard which spread terror in the hills of the colonial United Provinces.
