Produktbeschreibung
The Second Oxford India Illustrated Corbett is another collection of Corbett's best-loved writings complemented by gripping illustrations. The stories reflect Corbetts involvement with India, her people, and her flora and fauna, and this collection includes several written for children.
Mixing with local people and speaking their dialects when such behaviour was considered taboo among the English, empathizing with his workers and the villagers, answering their distress call at all times-this is the other side of the fearless hunter, famous conservationist, and at times rational trophy collector. The current volume brings together a selection of Corbett's writings which reveal the full flair of his personality-his hunting prowess, as also his closeness to the people and the land where he grew up.
Autorenporträt
From hunting down more than a dozen maneaters thought to have taken more than 1,500 lives, to helping create the Association for the Preservation of Game in the United Provinces (prior to Independence), and establish India's first national park-Edward James Corbett has pioneered it all. Apart from being India's most famous hunter of man-eating tigers and a committed conservationist, Corbett was a consummate storyteller. His adventurous and perceptive tales have not only entertained and captivated a whole generation of readers, but also opened their eyes to the cause of the environment.
