CONTENTS
DESCRIPTION
The Stories in this book are the recollections of the author’s encounters with tigers and the profound thrill of chase and love for the denizens of the wild. These episodes of tiger tracking, though separated in time, are brought together under a common theme. The greater material of the book originates from the author’s ancestral village Larti, that lies like an island in the middle of Sal jungles adjoining the borders or Kishanpur tiger reserve, a trans-Sharda complex of Dudhwa National Park in North India. Here Rahul spent his boyhood in association with the native hunters, wandering in search of tigers and leopards and other game animals and watching the climatic and ceaseless struggle for survival—of both animals and native—from very close quarters. The book approaches the readers with nostalgic sentiments recalling the days of hunting, which is a less understood sport and often deprecated as being pure atavism. You may like or hate it, but tales of hunting invariably arouse interest for their appeal is basic and the opposition they generates is emotional.
