The Title provides rare inputs about James Edward Corbett, better known to the world as Jim Corbett, whom many of us remember as the pioneer conservationist. Fact prevails that Jim too started with the Universal Journey to the happy hunting grounds; but he learned from his experiences and dared to carve an unique niche for himself and paved path for the world community for living with the nature and its priceless resources.
He remained concerned for others till his last breath, which gets reflected in his last words to his sister, to strife for a world, which is a happy place for the people to live in.
The endeavor of Author is to provide Corbett admirers with something new to read about their lcon. It is a biography of a legend, one who was so selfless in his affairs, a challenging task with coverage of all aspects of his life, a narrative from birth to death, covering from early childhood at Nainital (India) to the terminal days in Nairobi (Kenya, Africa). The biography brings Jim Corbett's picture as an unassuming personality, very generous courageous and kind hearted, one who lived merely for the masses. The initial chapters are dedicated to the brief account of the familial and environmental influences that orchestrated Jim's personality and nurtured his interest in the jungle life.
His benevolent deeds endeared him to his people and made him a household name in the Kumaon region of current Uttaranchal. The title also pictures his interest about India & its masses and rightly projects him as a man of wide sympathies and deep understanding. It provides sufficient space to the exclusive Jim Corbett titles e.g. Jungle Lore, TreeTops, Man-Eaters of Kumaon, Temple Tiger, More Man-eaters of Kumaon & the Man Eating Leopard of Rudraprayag as well as to the existing works on the Legend.
