THE MAN EATING LEOPARD OF RUDRAPRAYAG

An exciting narrative of a
leopard that spread terror through five hundred square miles of the hills of
the United Provinces, The Man-eating Leopard of Rudraprayag also takes a
detailed look at life in the Garhwal region of India. Apart from Corbett’s hair-raising
pursuit of the leopard for almost a year, the book talks about the
superstitions prevalent in the region, the beauty of the landscape, what
turns a leopard into a man-eater and many other, often surprising facts and
anecdotes, all told in Corbett’s inimitable style. A worthwhile read for all
ages, The Man-eating Leopard of Rudraprayag is also an ode to the people who
inhabit the hills and the resilience with which they face the hardships that
assail them.
