With a new introduction by Martin Booth, author of the Jim Corbett biography, Carpet Sahib. This work is more in the vein of an autobiography than a big game hunting work, though there is still note of hunting tiger and leopard. Corbett's love and understanding of life and nature in the Kumaon forests is the focal point. (Czech, Bibliography of Asian Big Game Hunting Books.) JUNGLE LORE JIM CORBETT OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS: DELHI 1991 First published in 1953. With a new introduction by Martin Booth, author of the Jim Corbett biography, Carpet Sahib. Jungle Lore is the closest Jim Corbett ever came to an autobiography. It is in this book that one sees the real soul of the man and his love affair with the people, jungle and animals of the Kumaon hills. Much of Corbett's childhood is here—his first forays with catapult and gun and his first adventures. Also present is his obsession with the ways of the jungle, about which he was continually striving to learn more. But at the heart of the book is a cry for sensitivity to the fragility of nature and a lament to mankind's divorce from his environment. In this concern, many years before the issues of conservation became widely understood, Corbett was well ahead of his time. Today the import of Jungle Lore is as vibrant as it ever was, the morality even more seminal. 22 x 14 cm. xiii + 168 pp. Very good condition. Dust jacket faded on the spine and lightly creased along the top edge. Pages slightly age toned, otherwise clean and tidy, binding sound. Pictures sell! Auctiva offers Free Image Hosting and Editing.
