Descriere Jim Corbett Omnibus: Man Eaters of Kumaon; The Man-Eating Leopard of Rudraprayag & My India - Jim Corbett

Jim Corbett is world famous for his classic Man-eater stories. However, the three volumes collected here show a very different side to this remarkable man. In Man-Eaters of Kumaon: It details the experiences that Corbett had in the Kumaon region of India from the 1900s to the 1930s, while hunting man-eating Bengal tigers and Indian leopards. One tiger, for example, was responsible for over 400 human deaths. Man-Eaters of Kumaon is the best known of Corbett's books, and contains 10 stories of tracking and shooting man-eaters in the Indian Himalayas during the early years of the twentieth century. In The Man-Eating Leopard of Rudraprayag: An exciting narrative of a leopard that spread terror through five hundred square miles of the hills of the United Provinces, The Man-eating Leopard of Rudraprayag also takes a detailed look at life in the Garhwal region of India. The Man Eating Leopard of Rudraprayag is often considered the most exciting of all Corbett's jungle tales. The Man-eating Leopard of Rudraprayag is also an ode to the people who inhabit the hills and the resilience with which they face the hardships that assail them. In My India: Jim Corbett describes the villages of the Kumaon Hills, and the customs and lifestyles of the people he encountered.
