Description

A vivid window into a living world where beasts teach us about themselves and about us. Beast And Man In India offers a lush, humane portrait of Indian animals in their daily theatre, and the people who observe them with curious, careful eyes. This is more than a field guide; it is an anthropological sketch collection that marries natural history illustration with human stories. Kipling maps the dialogue between creature and community, crafting a cultural wildlife history that resonates with modern readers and scholars alike. Readers meet a gallery of creatures through a Victorian India context, where fascination, wonder, and careful ethnography illuminate both animal life and the human cultures that shape it. It stands as an illustrated edition long valued by naturalists, folklorists, and university research reference collections. Beast And Man In India is a rare find for casual readers and classic-literature collectors alike. It invites you into a world where myths and observations mingle, offering timeless insights into animal folklore studies and the deep kinship between species. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, the work is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure for scholars, nature enthusiasts, and seekers of knowledge about humans and animals in india.
