The Jim Corbett Omnibus includes three enduring tales of Corbett’s encounters with man-eaters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMan-eaters of Kumaon contain fascinating stories of tracking and shooting of man-eaters in the Indian Himalayas 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 human 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 Provincs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDramatic yet reflective, Corbett’s writings are coloured by his deep concern and sympathy for the natural world as well as the local people and their traditions and customs. This vividly illustrated collection will appeal equally to Corbett lovers and to those concerned with the environment and wildlife.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCOMMENTS AND REVIEWS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘[Corbett] has written with rich insight and deep intimacy about the wild animals of the forest. …When Man-eaters of Kumaon was published, the book became a worldwide best-seller, was translated into a dozen languages, and even [made into] a Hollywood film.’\u003cbr\u003e-\tRamachandra guha In Lives in the Wilderness\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘Here is…the quintessential Corbett….
