The Second [Oxford India] Illustrated Corbett - Oxford India Collection 2 Rev edition

Mixing with local people and speaking their dialects when such behaviour was considered taboo among the English, empathizing with his workers and the villagers, answering their distress call at all times-this is the other side of the fearless hunter, famous conservationist, and at times rational trophy collector. The current volume brings together a selection of Corbett's writings which reveal the full flair of his personality-his hunting prowess, as also hiscloseness to the people and the land where he grew up.
