Man-Eating Leopard Of Rudraprayag
Man-Eating Leopard Of Rudraprayag | Jim Corbett
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. Apart from Corbett's hair-raising pursuit of the leopard for almost a year, the book talks about the superstitions prevalent in the region, the beauty of the landscape, what turns a leopard into a man-eater and many other, often surprising facts and anecdotes, all told in Corbett's inimitable style. A worthwhile read for all ages, 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.

Another favorite of mine from way back. "This is often considered the most exciting of all Jim Corbett's jungle tales. It's a carefully-detailed account of a notorious leopard that terrorized life in the hills of the colonial United Provinces."

dogra "Later... Corbett spoke out for the need to protect India's wildlife from extermination & played a key role in creating a national reserve for the endangered Bengal tiger by using his influence to persuade the provincial government to establish it." 8y
