Muktesar Man-Eater by Jim Corbett | Audiobook (English)

24 Apr
2021
Colonel Jim Corbett was still fairly young and inexperienced when he was called upon to go after the Muktesar Man-Eater.
The small town of Muktesar (now the hill resort town of Mukteshwar) in the Kumaon region of the Himalayan foothills of India situated in the modern-day state of Uttarakhand and in the beautiful and well-wooded Ramgarh Valley, was the setting in the year 1910 when a wounded tigress develops a taste for human flesh.

Corbett writes with great skill, building up the atmosphere with a sense of dread, and what follows is a fast-paced and gripping work of narrative non-fiction that transports you smack dab in the middle of the action, more than a hundred years ago.

This narration is dedicated to the loving memory of Mr. Andre Leon Ducasse of St. Joseph's College, Prayagraj (1963-2017), an exemplary academic who memorably read this story aloud to us one fine day in 6th grade.
