Book Summary 

First published in 1947, this book is Jim Corbett’s gripping account of his pursuit of the man-eating leopard of Rudraprayag, which terrorized the Himalayan region of Garhwal (India) between 1918 and 1926. The leopard was responsible for over 125 human deaths, making it one of the most notorious man-eaters in history. Corbett describes not only the tension-filled hunts but also the lives of the local villagers, the terror they endured, and the challenges of tracking a predator that had outsmarted hunters for nearly a decade. It’s both a thrilling true-adventure story and a window into colonial India, blending danger, survival, and natural history.

About the Author

Jim Corbett (1875–1955) was a British-Indian hunter, tracker, and conservationist. Famous for hunting down man-eating tigers and leopards in India during the early 20th century, he later became a passionate advocate for wildlife conservation. Corbett’s writings not only recount thrilling hunts but also reveal his deep respect for nature and concern for the preservation of India’s forests and wildlife. The Jim Corbett National Park in Uttarakhand is named in his honor.
