The hair raising accounts of the writer s adventures in the wild in Indian jungles, keep the reader impulsively absorbed in the book. His encounters with beasts have heart throbbing and bewildering. The author was a hunter of tigers instinctively and often risked his life. Besides hunting episodes, the book is replete with events of author s involvement with India, where he passed his early boyhood and later, prime of youth. The book contains the real-life experiences and events of the author s life with minute details of observations and accurate memories of his remote past. In the whole book, there is not a tinge of disgust or a version for the native inhabitant s way of life or the rituals as can often be inferred from the writings of the English writers of the Raj days. Burton is nostalgic about his boyhood days in India where he studied and sailed to England after his father passed away during an encounter with the brigands at the head of his regiment. He returned to India with great eagerness and nostalgia on a posting in the Royal Army. The book ranks among the best of its kind. It s more than a book on hunting. It reveals of British Army Officer s whole perception about the country. .Its people, its customs, weather and seasons with good memories of his Indian associates, co-hunters and faithful servants. Burton s account of his days in the West Indies provides an added flavour to his Indian sage. It would be of great interest to readers of the writings of Caribbean writers like V.S. Naipaul today."

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Hong Kong, 1954. The British colony was not yet ready to hear about a Eurasian policeman having an affair with the police commissioner's daughter. Simon Lee tasted swift punishment. He was banished to the far tip of a wild and distant island a stone's throw from Chinese waters to Tai O, the ancient trading post where fishermen, salt-farmers and refugees were thrown together with spies, pirates and Triads. Dolphins swam the waters, eagles fished the sea, and some still believed that a tiger prowled the hills at night. It was a place haunted by history, where corpses had floated in the bay when Japanese troops occupied the police station, and everybody had a secret about what they did during the war. Life was unpredictable for the band of misfits that staffed Tai O Police Station. But when a stranger was murdered on a beach, accused of being a Communist spy, Lee found himself on a collision course with his masters in Central. Who had the dead man been working for What did the secret agents know Why was Central so eager to brush the execution aside And who or what really was the 'tiger'.

Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | A book geared toward men looking for change, and their partners and friends who are seeking insight, Paper Tiger Hunters guides the reader through topics including anger, anxiety, grief, partnership, communication, ego, purpose, and validation. A small book filled with big topics meant to jump start the journey to becoming a healthier man. Be part of a discussion and movement of healed men, and healed communities.Healing a community begins when men are given the tools and permission to feel, to be heard, to talk, heal, and grow.Throughout this book you will be gathering the tools and insights to live in a way that teaches you to express yourself more clearly and communicate more effectively. To find out who you are as you heal. To be accountable and responsible for your feelings and actions. Most importantly, as you grow.The thing that makes the difference is action. It is focused, purposeful practice, and consistency. Focused, consistent energy builds. It grows. It becomes us. We begin to heal. We are better able to contribute to the world we live in.Included are simple tools to help with this process.* A notebook is helpful to have handy to write down your thoughts and progress.We are complicit, and yet we complain. We are complicit in a system that isn't working. For men to heal and relay that healing into their homes and communities, we need to offer them safe spaces. Spaces that are free of shame and judgement. Spaces for them to bond and let down their guard. Places that go beyond hunting, sports, and bars. Places that offer tools and knowledge. And accountability. Where real conversation happens. We must create more of these spaces. We need to be a safe space for them. We need to celebrate and make these spaces sacred. We must begin with empathy.
