The Temple Tiger and More Man-Eaters of Kumaon

Jim Corbett (Author)

Synopsis This is the last of Jim Corbettâ€™s books on his unique and thrilling hunting experiences in the Indian Himalaya. Concluding the narrative begun in the famous Man-Eaters of Kumaon, Corbett here recounts five stories of skill and endurance. As always, he writes with an acute awareness of all the jungle sights and sounds, his words charged with a great love of the human beings that lay within his hunting terrain. Together with the modesty, calm and precision of his prose, these qualities make these stories very much a part of the classic Corbett corpus.

About the author

Jim Corbett

Jim Corbett (1875-1955), India's most famour hunter of man-eaters, was a pioneer in many respects-a hunter par excellence with over a dozen man-eaters (thought to have taken more than 1500 lives) to his name, and a committed conservationist who helped establish India's first national park, subsequently named after him. Corbett was also a consummate storyteller whose adventurous and perceptive tales have not only entertained and captivated a whole generation of readers, but also opened their eyes to the cause of the environment.
