Review: このものがたりは、決して猛獣狩りの本ではありません。もしもあなたが、ハンターと野獣の息詰まる知恵比べのストーリーを期待して買うなら失望するでしょう。そういう人は、吉村昭の羆嵐や、Peter Capstick の Death in The Long Grass の方がお気に召す事と思います。しかし、共産主義からペレストロイカを経て、余りにも目まぐるしく変わるロシアの国全体の一部として翻弄されるシベリアの自然と、そこに住む人々までを視野に入れて、地球規模の自然環境の緩慢な衰弱から死を残念に思う気持ちがあるなら、買って損はないでしょう。（猛獣狩りやアニマルトラッキングが大きく関わってくるのは、後半部分から後です。あなたは、それまで辛抱出来ますか？） Review: Although the story is about a man eating Siberian, or more appropriately, Amur tiger in the far east region of Russia, it is actually about creating awareness about this beautiful, but endangered species of cat. The author keeps the true story intense, but departs from the main story a number of times for developing characters involved in it and in the process explains in detail the history, geography, economy, ecology, ethnicities and culture, predators and prey in the region, and of course the relationship between men and the beast. In fact, the authors goes into further details and educates the readers on different political eras of Russia, Sino-Soviet relations of the past and Sino-Russian relations as of now, animal behaviour, even predator ' prey relationships studied in Africa, anthropology, palaeontology, etc. and he does all of this so very beautifully never losing track of the original story of the man eating tiger. It is amazing to note how learned the author and how well researched this book is. The author brings the knowledge out from diversified subjects as they apply to this confrontation between men and tiger. The book has many tragic events described graphically, but in the end it leaves hope in that the awareness is growing all over the world and that Amur Tigers may survive living in the wild. I grew up reading very lively and graphic stories of man eating tigers of India written by Jim Corbett and many local Indian hunters. I remember many of those stories and am still able to recall hunters describing the man eating tiger's behaviour. This book either endorsed those viewpoints or expanded my knowledge on tiger behaviour especially after it becomes a man eater. When I received my book from desertcart.ca, its thickness and page appearances discouraged me for I am a slow reader. How am I ever going to finish this voluminous book I said to myself. But lo and behold, I completed in two days. This shows how interesting and intense this book is. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #23,083 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #8 in Hunting & Shooting #35 in Environmentalism #8,612 in Textbooks & Study Guides | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (913) | | Dimensions | 13.08 x 1.98 x 20.19 cm | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 0307389049 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0307389046 | | Item weight | 1.05 Kilograms | | Language | English | | Print length | 352 pages | | Publication date | 3 May 2011 | | Publisher | Vintage | ## Images ![The Tiger: A True Story of Vengeance and Survival - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Et7++5EOL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ Review *by B***R on 5 March 2012* このものがたりは、決して猛獣狩りの本ではありません。もしもあなたが、ハンターと野獣の息詰まる知恵比べのストーリーを期待して買うなら失望するでしょう。そういう人は、吉村昭の羆嵐や、Peter Capstick の Death in The Long Grass の方がお気に召す事と思います。しかし、共産主義からペレストロイカを経て、余りにも目まぐるしく変わるロシアの国全体の一部として翻弄されるシベリアの自然と、そこに住む人々までを視野に入れて、地球規模の自然環境の緩慢な衰弱から死を残念に思う気持ちがあるなら、買って損はないでしょう。（猛獣狩りやアニマルトラッキングが大きく関わってくるのは、後半部分から後です。あなたは、それまで辛抱出来ますか？） ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by S***D on 7 September 2010* Although the story is about a man eating Siberian, or more appropriately, Amur tiger in the far east region of Russia, it is actually about creating awareness about this beautiful, but endangered species of cat.
