A review by the_main_character
Man-Eaters of Kumaon by Jim Corbett

adventurous challenging funny informative medium-paced

4.0

in these wonderfully detailed descriptions of his famous hunting expeditions, jim corbett brings to life lush indian jungles, gurgling streams, and prowling, magnificent beasts that call them home. containing his real-life adventures where he hunts man-eating tigers that cause mass bloodshed in the kumaon region, this memoir explores the lives of these beasts and discernes what forces these disciplined creatures to acquire an unnatural taste for human blood, throughout which corbett makes one thing clear: that tigers are distinguished gentlemen of undying courage and fortitude, a beautiful species thoroughly deserving of our respect and awe.
