Man-eaters of Kumaon is the best known of Jim Corbett’s books. It has sold over four million copies since it was published in 1944. These stories of hunting man-eating tigers in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand in the early twentieth century are filled with adventure and suspense. But there’s more to them than that. As several commentators and reviewers have remarked, what makes Corbett’s book so remarkable is his deep knowledge of nature and jungle lore. He was an exceptional writer as well. Writes Stephen Alter in his introduction: ‘The vivid imagery of Corbett’s prose remains as crisp and clear as a spring morning in the foothills of the terai.’

Jim Corbett

Edward James Corbett, commonly known as Jim Corbett, was a British-Indian hunter, conservationist, and author. He was celebrated for his contributions to wildlife conservation and his remarkable stories about tracking and hunting man-eating tigers and leopards in India. Born in Nainital, in the Kumaon region of India, Corbett developed a deep love for nature and wildlife from a young age. He gained fame for hunting man-eaters that posed a threat to local villages, earning a reputation as a skilled tracker and marksman. His notable works include Man-Eaters of Kumaon, where he recounts his hunting experiences and the challenges faced by local communities due to predatory animals. Corbett's legacy continues to inspire wildlife enthusiasts and conservationists, making him a significant figure in both hunting literature and environmental advocacy.
