The Man -Eaters of Tsavo and Other East African Adventures (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789357271226)

Written by J.H. Patterson, The Man-Eaters of Tsavo and Other East African Adventures is a semi-autobiographical book. Patterson, a natural narrator, engages us in the horror of the laborers' fear and his own endeavors to track the monster, which would end up killing approximately 130 individuals before Patterson took them out. This real-life adventure will keep the fans of both fiction and non-fiction transfixed. The Man-Eaters of Tsavo describes Patterson's encounters while overseeing the development of a railroad bridge in Kenya. The title of the book comes from the lions which killed Patterson's workers and which Patterson ultimately killed. Following the demise of the lions, the book recounts the bridge's completion despite additional difficulties (like a fierce flood) as well as numerous accounts concerning local wildlife, nearby tribes, the uncovering of the man-eater's cave, and different hunting expeditions. The book has been adapted to film three times: a 1952 three-dimensional film named Bwana Fiend, a monochrome, English film of the 1950s, and a 1996 variety form called The Phantom and the Murkiness. The book also incorporates photos taken by Patterson at the time of railway construction; local tribes; the workers; landscape and wildlife; and the man-eaters.
