Around 150 individuals are killed by tigers in the Sundarban area (most of them are not killed by man-eaters but by tigers that feel threatened because people venture too deep into the tiger habitat and end up going too close to a tiger or its cubs).

Later on Corbett or 'Carpetsahib' came to regret the slaughter of these magnificent beasts as he saw modernity encroaching irreversibly on their native habitats. Beardsworth, A., & Bryman, A. (2001). The wild animal in late modernity: The case of the Disneyization of zoos. Tourist Studies, 1(1), 83–104.The Chowgarh tigers: The first of three man-eaters Corbett was to shoot on government request at a 1929 district conference. It turned out to be a pair of two tigers, a mother and its grown cub, which had together killed 64 people between 1925 and 1930. The cub was shot in April 1929 and the mother on 11 April 1930.

The man-eating leopard of Rudraprayag (37th imp.). Oxford University Press. Aber Jim Corbett sagt selbst, dass er ein guter Jäger aber kein guter Erzähler sei. Er hatte die Geschichtensammlung ursprünglich 1935 für Freunde geschrieben und sie dann später doch noch als Buch veröffentlicht. Kruuk, H. (2002). Hunter and hunted: Relationship between carnivores and people. Cambridge University Press. The time difference between when it was written and now shows in terms of the values, societal changes and even the language. In that sense this was more historically significant literature than many history books.Game hunting on the trail of the maneater is right outside a documentary and Corbett relives his hunts through the chapters. The fact that he is an excellent shot makes the hunting process easier. He also had a greater knowledge, understanding, and love of India and its people than most of those today who would write him off a ‘colonialist.’ He was nothing of the sort: born and raised in India, he never saw it as anything but India. To this day there is a national park there named after him. This particular edition also benefits from some delightful line drawings that give a perfect sense of place. Viel Text besteht aus Beschreibungen von Wegen und Tälern. Die Begebenheiten waren sicherlich für die Jagd relevant aber sie machen die Geschichte nicht spannender. Zudem ist er recht bescheiden und stellt sich und seine Gefühle in den Hintergrund, wodurch einem das mitfiebern erschwert wird.

I read a little about Corbett on the internet and came to know that though he was a regular hunter, he turned into a conservationalist and a naturalist. While reading the book, I came across quite interesting passages like Corbett describing tigers as a beautiful and a proud animal. He had never looked at a tiger with hate or disgust. He had utmost love for the animal and it pained him when anyone used the phrase "blood thirsty as a tiger". He had no doubt killed a lot of tigers and for me that is kind of unforgivable but I cannot ignore that he was the same guy who took to lecturing groups of schoolchildren about their natural heritage and the need to conserve forests and their wildlife.

Taylor and Francis e-library. http://b-ok.org/book/662540/83db93.There are thrilling, chilling descriptions of everything from sitting up in a tree with a tiger scratching at the trunk below, to the frustrating—and dangerous—uncertainty brought on by having one ear deafened thanks to a gunshot. Most of all, there are Corbett’s brilliant insights into jungle life: the dynamics of it, the symbiosis, the hows and whys and whats. This, coupled with Corbett’s obvious affection and respect for the people of these hills, is what makes this (like all of Corbett’s books on his adventures in this part of the world) so immensely readable. Biermann, C., & Mansfield, B. (2014). Biodiversity, purity, and death: conservation biology as biopolitics. Environment and Planning D: Society and Space, 32, 257–273. https://doi.org/10.1068/d13047p Die Geschichten ähneln sich stark. Corbett bindet ein Ochsen oder eine Ziege als Köder an die Stelle, wo als letztes ein Mensch gefressen wurde und klettert auf einen Baum, um dem Tiger aufzulauern. Häufig muss er die Tiger tagelang durch die Wildnis verfolgen.
