The gripping tale of the hunt for a man-eating tiger across the forbidding landscape of Russia's Far East....
Klappentext zu „The Tiger “
It's December 1997, and a man-eating tiger is on the prowl outside a remote village in Russia's Far East. The tiger isn't just killing people, it's annihilating them, and a team of men and their dogs must hunt it on foot through the forest in the brutal cold. As the trackers sift through the gruesome remains of the victims, they discover that these attacks aren't random: the tiger is apparently engaged in a vendetta. Injured, starving, and extremely dangerous, the tiger must be found before it strikes again.Beautifully written and deeply informative, The Tiger is a tale of man and nature that leads inexorably to a final showdown in a clearing deep in the taiga.

Rezension zu „The Tiger “
'The Tiger is the sort of book I very much like and rarely find. Humans are hard-wired to fear tigers, so this book will attract intense interest.' -- Annie Proulx 'This elegant work of narrative non-fiction has it all--beauty, intrigue, a primeval locale, fully realized characters, and a conflict that speaks to the state of our world. The Tiger takes us on a journey to the raw edge of civilization, to a world of vengeful cats and venal men, a world that, in Vaillant's brilliant telling, is simultaneously haunting and enchanting.' -- Hampton Sides, author of Ghost Soldiers 'Writing in a vigorous, evocative style ... Vaillant paints a haunting portrait of man's vexed relationship with nature.' -- Publishers Weekly 'This book must be read by everybody who is interested in the conservation of wildlife. It takes you to the Russian wilderness to meet face-to-face with the Siberian tiger.' -- Temple Grandin, author of Animals in Translation 'An absolutely superb book.' -- George Schaller, Wildlife Conservation Society & Panthera 'A masterpiece' -- Outside 'Brilliant' -- US Library Journal
