Jim Corbett Books ( Man-Eaters of Kumaon, The Temple Tiger and More Man-Eaters of Kumaon, Jungle Lore, The Man-Eating Leopard of Rudraprayag)

Man-Eaters of Kumaon
Book Description
Jim Corbett's book on man-eating tigers are not only established classics, but also almost in a separate literary category by themselves. Man-Eaters of Kumaon is the best known of Colonel Corbett's books, and contains ten fascinating stories of tracking and shooting man-eaters in the Indian Himalaya during the early years of this century. The stories also contain incidental information on flora, fauna and village life, making this book altogether delightful reading.

The Temple Tiger and Man-Eaters of Kumaon
ANNOTATION : The Last of Colonel Jim Corbetts' books on his unique and enthralling hunting experiences in India.
Book Description
This is the last of Jim Corbett's books on his unique and thrilling hunting experiences in the Indian Himalaya. Concluding the narrative begun in the famous Man-Eaters of Kumaon, Colonel 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 in the villages 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.

Jungle Lore
Book Description
Jungle Lore is the closest Jim Corbett ever came to an autobiography. It is in this book that one sees the real soul of the man and his love affair with the people, jungle and animals of the Kumaon hills. Much of Corbett's childhood is here - his first forays with catapult and gun and his first adventures. Also present is his obsession with the ways of the jungle, about which he was continually striving to learn more. But at the heart of the book is a cry for sensitivity to the fragility of nature and a lament to mankind's divorce from his environment. In this concern, many years before the issues of conservation became widely understood, Corbett was well ahead of his time. Today the import of Jungle Lore is as vibrant as it ever was, the morality even more seminal.

The Man-Eating Leopard of Rudraprayag
by: Jim Corbett
Book Description
Most of Jim Corbett's books contain collections of stories that recount adventures tracking and shooting man-eaters in the Indian Himalaya. This volume, however, consists of a single story, often considered the most exciting of all Corbett's jungle tales. He gives a carefully-detailed account of a notorious leopard that terrorized life in the hills of the colonial United Provinces. This story represents Corbett's most sustained and unique effort.
