false 475244 1 The last of Colonel Jim Corbett's books on his unique and enthralling hunting experiences in India, this volume concludes the narrative of his adventures with tigers begun in the famous Man-Eaters of Kumaon. These stories maintain, perhaps even supercede, the high standard of the<br>earlier classic collection. Corbett saves his best story of all for the long concluding chapter in this volume, describing, in The Talla Des Man-Eater, how he embarked on what he feared might be a fatal last test of skill and endurance. As always, he writes with an acute awareness of all jungle<br>sights and sounds, choosing words charged with a great love of humanity, birds, and animals. His calm and straightforward modesty heightens the excitement and suspense of these experiences, in which he continuously risks his life to free the Indian tarai of dangerous man-eaters. 463486 1991 The Temple Tiger total:7|5:3|4:2|3:2| 7 29 8 1 4 0 false false Sun Aug 31 19:52:14 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 31 19:53:00 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Jul 20 07:49:36 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 20 07:49:36 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri May 22 02:13:17 -0700 2009 Fri May 22 02:13:17 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Mar 21 02:14:35 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 21 02:14:35 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Mar 14 13:09:46 -0700 2008 Fri Mar 14 13:09:46 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Mon Oct 01 01:34:05 -0700 2007 Mon Oct 01 01:34:05 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Sun Sep 30 22:41:55 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 30 22:41:55 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Tue Mar 27 22:35:52 -0700 2007 Tue Mar 27 22:35:52 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=475244
