My biggest takeaway from Jim Corbett stories is to never give up no matter what. This man was relentless in his pursuit. We live in different times but there's so much that still applies. Great work on the audio, mate!
I agree with you fully and all the lives he saved he should have got a medal the Braveheart metal
Corbet was only mopping up the mess made by Europeans. At a time when the people of India were not allowed to have proper weapons to protect themselves. Don't forget, they had been living with tigers for a thousand years without needing Europeans for anything.
YES! This is, in my opinion Jim Corbett at his very best. It's a perfect microcosm of that line, walked so perfectly and elegantly, between a description of place and time, whilst simultaneously telling a startling, tense and quite blood-curdling adventure story. The hard part for me, is reminding myslef that this all really happened. A man absolutely part of the fabric of India, both in terms of its people, its landscape and its wildlife. Remarkable. And of course, a masterful performance Mr Singh, as ever; thank you. B
Lo and behold, the main man returns with a Corbett classic. This is one of my favorite stories of all time by any author. Its feels as authentic as it is incredible with the amount of detail that Corbett has added. His storytelling just like his sportsmanship was unmatched.

This is one of the best stories written by Jim Corbett…. The climax is so thrilling.
I'm very much familiar with the story but listening to the audio version in your voice adds a whole new dimension to it and makes it come alive. Thank you!
I am so happy you read this longer story! I love the longer one hour plus stories, great to listen to in bed while trying to fall asleep.
I do the exact same thing. Falling asleep to the sound of a long audio story! Thank you for commenting.

Earlier, I used to go bed hearing LATHA'S melodious songs.
Now, they were replaced with CORBET STORIES.
Jim Corbett must also be hearing these soulful narrations from up there and smiling! This is Perfection 🙏
Thank you for posting these Apratim! (I hope I spelled your name right) I really enjoy Jim Corbett stories, so much so I am planning a trip to India to follow some of the trails in the stories.
I have been thinking of doing the same for a while now, although I can tell you that the actual places that Corbett frequented in these stories are in the backcountry and very difficult to get to. But I would atleast love to visit his home in Kaladhungi and the nearby world famous Jim Corbett National Park.
It's rare that people can spell or even say my first name, so this warms my heart. Thank you for commenting and may you get to see some of the places in beautiful Corbett country. Hiring a local guide will help becase just like the other commenter said, these are still places that are off the beaten track.
@@selvalore I kind of cheated and looked up the pronunciation from the video and then compared it with what I found when looking up names of people with Singh (very common), but I do have a lot of cultural studies behind me and that made it easier. Thank you again.
@@anilnair6766 Yes, there are some blogs out there where people have tried following some of the trails and have had to use google maps to geolocate the areas because they are so back country and dangerous to venture into without guns and guides.
Thak Man Eating Tigress was killed by Jim Corbett in 30 November 1938 in Kumaon Region , India , Jim Corbett was born in Nainital town in 1875 and He Died in Kenya in 1955 .
Thank you Brother!
The Thak man eater, truely one of the greatest stories there is.
That's right! We are lucky to have had people like Mr. Corbett and Mr. Anderson.
Thank you for commenting.
@@selvalore we are very Lucky to have stories written by sir Kenneth Anderson and sir 'Jim' Corbett.
We are also lucky to have you reading them.
Thank you 🙏
I am very much enchanted by the hunting story of Sir Edward Jim Corbett since when I was a teenager. Till today often I listen to it in You Tube. I am ever thankful to You Tube. Please make more such videos.
Thanks!
@@selvalore My name is Matteo and I really appreciate your excellent readings of all these Jungle tales. My friends call me Matt
Thank you Mr Singh, another superb example of your first class narration. I shall treasure this.
OH the maps are such a lovely addition! Your channel is an excellent tribute to this heroic man and his expertise.
Ah! Been wondering when you were going to drop another audiobook. Will listen to this on my evening walks now. Thank you!
An extraordinary story that engulfs you in a world of nature, danger, courage and skill. This reading is an outstanding tribute to Jim Corbett. Well done!
Thanks for your excellent Corbett readings. His descriptions of the people and places of Kumaon and Gharwaal resonate with my experience living in Bajhang District of far west Nepal as a US Peace Corps volunteer in the early 1990s. Dhanyabad hajur 🙏
Oh wow, well that's just great to hear Sean! Must have made memories for a lifetime. And thank you for sharing this with us!
Always look forward to hearing your latest story . Jim Corbett was an extraordinary man who lived an extraordinary life . Thank you as always for your hard work and dedication to bring us these wonderful stories. 👍👍
So happy to see you dropped another video. I love these audiobooks. So ready to be transported to a different time and place. Perfect antidote after a long day.
These stories take me back to my childhood memories of growing up in India. Just what the doctor ordered on this cold Chicago morning.
So nice to hear that these audiostories are helping in shape or form. Thank you!
I absolutely love listening to your narrations! Best wishes from the US! 🐅 🇺🇸 🇮🇳
This just showed up in my feed. So stoked for a new Corbett audio story. I was hoping there were still a few more left for you to do.
We’ve been not-so-patiently waiting for this one and I told my kids I was CERTAIN you would put out a Christmas timed story. Thanks for filling my prophecy! 😂👍
Haha, I wish I'd known about this. I'd have put it out sooner. Have a merry Christmas ahead Dylan, and a very happy New Year as well to you and to your family.
I love sitting at night getting ready to go to bed and listen to all these stories before you know it it's 4 in the morning thank God I don't have a job LOL and thank you to the the men that wrote the stories and thanks to the man Jim cornette and that Anderson guy for really making these stories true keeping them poor people alive my heart is with them❤❤❤😮😮😮
Cheers for the new upload! This had been a long time coming. The best Corbett story for me.
Thank you bro. I was in the doldrums with the end of the world cup so really I needed this.
Nicely done Mr. Singh...thank you...
You seem to be holding your end of the bargain pretty well! Always good to see your comment!
@@selvalore the quality of your productions continues to gain a true professional edge...as does your vocal delivery...
Question please...
How is your first name spelled...I can't seem to hear it clearly when I listen...
@@dkcorderoyximenez3382 As with most things in life, the more you do it, the better you get at it. I remember your comments on my earliest videos and how supportive you were. So I will be appreciative, always.
My name is Apratim Viraaj Singh. Not exactly an easy name, but i'm running with it.
@@selvalore I'm smiling...thank you for your full name...
I enjoy your presentations a great deal and shall continue to watch for new content...keep them coming...
I predict very good, long term outcomes for you as you build listeners in the format...
With my highest regards,
DKCyX
Superb! A fascinating story and a perfect reading of the same.
Thankyou Mr Singh you make my day every time I see you uploaded really , thanks big time
Good work habibi. Full justice done to a proper hair raising tale! Will listen to it tonight!
Stories about Jim Corbett, Frederick Selous, Karamojo Bell, Harry Selby, Peter Capstick, J.H. Patterson, and more are stories I love to read and hear. My heroes have always been hunters
Thank you for your efforts Mr. Singh. Much appreciated. 👍🏽 Your videos are the most awaited ones. I end up searching once every day after the 3rd week of the previous video.
Good things DO come to those who wait. I thank you for this video, even before I listen to it. I know it will be first class among audiobooks. I place a like on the video and comment even before I listen to it, because I know it can only be superlative. Thank you for being the best. When I saw the length of the video I must say how pleased I am. Yours is my number one channel. I encourage each subscriber to Selva Lore to always like and comment the channel to show our appreciation. Thank you for your excellence.
No matter how many times I read this story or listen to it I still feel that same thrill. This tigress though had killed very few humans but tested Mr. Corbett 's skills to the edge. Wish there was a follow up account on Corbett 's experience in that deserted village.
I wish the same too. It has left us all wanting to know more. Your comment is much appreciated!
Thanks a lot dear Sir and your sincere effort to inject sweet nostalgia of Late Corbette Sir into the dormant minds of people by resurrecting the unforgettable jungle stories. Thanks a lot. Please make more videos Sir. ❤
I keep coming back to listen to these stories, so beautifully narrated that I feel I am once again walking those beloved hills. Thank you Ji🙏
Lovely to hear this! Thank you so much. Sounds like you grew up there or lived there at some point?
I have read all his books over the years but never get tired of the stories. The biggest take away was that he was very much a conservationist and didn't hunt for just killing but to rid the villages of a maneater.
Dangerously addictive writing combined with sublime narration. Excellent stuff 👍😎
The most exciting and documental story! Corbett is a true legend!
I've been to Thak village 5 times...
Amazing! I envy you. I'd want to visit one day as I hear its still relatively secluded requiring some off-trail trekking.
Thank you for commenting.
Fascinating story! Thank you for doing such a wonderful job with the narration. This is a perfect way to keep Jim's legacy alive.
Corbett’s ability to track the tigers moving through the forest, using animal warning calls is what kept him alive. Amazing story of survival and helping your fellow man.
Man you keep getting better and better at this. Just sheer joy listening to these spellbinding Corbett tales with your engaging narration.
Man i check your channel for a new upload every day and if their isnt a new one up i just watch the older ones.
I cannot describe how mutch i love your content and please dont ever stop!
Another great story!
I hope you have many more for us, you are a masterful teller of tales.
Danke!
Thank you so much ,I'd always planned to read more of his trips and this is the first audio book I've ever sat through and might be one of the best I'll ever hear again thanks so much !
Incredible real story, flawlessly narrated. Even if a modern man tries to appreciate the risk, hardship, goodwill, skill, stamina and courage of Jim Corbett its not possible to even realize 1% of it. Just try walking in a dark night near a wooded area, and then think if there was a man-eater watching you, you will run like no tomorrow. Jim corbett's stories are best inspirations for the humanity.
I've always loved these books and am enjoying your channel very much. Your native accent gives the stories a lovely bonus. I am impressed how much your recording quality and reading voice have improved since the early uploads. Thank you for posting these audio stories. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, Mr. Kanengieter! I appreciate you saying that. I'm not a professional voice actor or a narrator, and I've had to figure it out as I've gone along with this and i'm still learning.
Congratulations on another wonderfully executed audiobook. The potent mix of simplicity of Corbett's descriptive writing, the truth of the story and the enthralling adventure that it contains cannot be matched in this genre. Thank you for giving voice to this timeless and legendary tale.
What a wonderful Xmas gift to get my favorite Corbett story told by you!! Thank you so much!!🙂
I was hoping you would do this story . It's so much better when you tell them. Thanks for your hard work friend. Jim Corbett was a legend !
You're welcome! Yes, Corbett's exploits are legendary. We have his writings and his books to cherish and treasure for the rest of time. Thank you for commenting!
Love your work sir once again thank you! Always look forward to your next piece
For once the UA-cam algorithm brings me a real gem. Great work sir. Subbed. Greetings from Ireland. 🇮🇪👏👏
A wild tale told brilliantly. Thank you.
Spellbinding, thank you for your excellent rendition of this story, perhaps, someday I will get to visit this beautiful part of the world.
Waah, we've been waiting for an upload from you. Thanks for this amazing narration. Your voice adds a whole new dimension to the story. Keep up the good work
I love hearing these stories from someone who is from india or has parents from india. My favorite aunt is from india. And ever since i was a small kid ive been fascinated with her culture and family. Her two sons are my favorite cousins and i do my best to be a good older male role model for them like she and my uncle were for me. Hearing your voice reminds me of her family. Thanks for the authentic experience.
Have had wonderful, unexpected intergenerational intersection. My mom had this book (Why? She was a real Southern lady lady!!) and I read it when young, many years ago. Gripping storytelling. I still remember one line...shiver. Anyway, today my adult nephew shares this with me, sure I'll be interested...WHAT?!?!? I didn't know it was still available!!! And delight, a connection!!! I wouldnt even share memories til he's finished - spoilers would ruin it. Thank you so much for posting this. Some read through eyes, some through ears, it's still reading. And shared literature is a tie that binds hearts! ❤❤❤❤❤
I am a big fan of your vlogs…. Please keep posting your stories more often
@@selvalore I always always always look forward to them…. Each video I watch atleast 3 - 4 times
what a icon jim corbett was. courageos , hard working , great determination , keep fightong attitude whatever may be the circumstances . by the way great narration to by mr singh.
If you could just read one of stories about hunting maneaters, it would have to be this. This has always been my go-to Corbett tale. Simple and decluttered writing and well narrated as well.
I so wish to have had the opportunity to be born in his time and got an opportunity to meet this legend! Alas!!
Thank you Apratim ji.. You yourself are creating a legacy of your own by giving your voice to these stories!! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
I appreciate the comment and its good to hear from you after a long while, Anish ji! I will echo similar sentiments about Mr. Corbett as well.
This is an exceptional story, a close second favorite of mine after the Chowgarh Tigers. The quality of the narration was also outstanding. Bravo!
Excellant, I can listen to your narrations over and over..
Back in those days there would be little narrative like this if people had not written journals. Thank you very much for the story!
The man-eaters from Kumaon is amid my favourite books. I've read it many times. Perhaps it's the book I have read the most times. It started before 40 years while adolescent and continue now but in English. I'd say that this is one of the books of my life.
Thank you once again for the great story and wonderful narration! Merry Christmas 🎄 e happy new year!
You're welcome and thank you for commenting! Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you too!
Great story and presentation as always, would love hear the bellandur ogre by K A as I can’t find it anywhere on UA-cam.
This storytelling is so great you feel like you are there!!
Thanks for uploading the best Jim Corbett story Mr Viraj Singh. Imagine Jim going after this tiger at 63 years of age. Your narration is excellent as usual. Thanks once again Mr Singh.
I've read his books and a blockbuster movie could have been made about his hunting experiences. Great reads.
I didn’t know anything about these man eaters until I saw the video by Good Enough and the Tsavo Lions video by Bob Gymlan. Those videos lead me to find this channel and I have been enthralled ever since. Mr Singh (I hope I spelled it right), your voice is exactly how I thought Jim Corbett’s voice would sound like. Excellent work, sir. I look forward to seeing more audio work from you!
I love how Jim doesn't just cal them "evil man-eaters" he always tries to figure out why they started eating people in the first place
Your narration is the best on UA-cam! Many thanks for your gift to us who are enthralled by stories of Indian man eaters..
Thak village as per Google and travellers blog is still abandoned. The pics of Thak forests even today gives goosebumps. Shows what a brave person Corbett was more so on having no rationale explanation for the screams of a man in mortal agony in the dead of night!
Thank you Sir, just in time. I'm off to the jungle tomorrow, for my winter visit.
Ah, you tempt me Mr. Husayn! Winters in the jungles are the best. May I ask where you stay?
Oh and kudos to Mr. Singh without whom we would probably never hear these tales. The telling of the story is captivating.
I love the stories you read for us kind sir! I humbly request that you continue Maneater stories even when you run low/out of stories that take place in India. I also humbly request that you read to us Jungle Lore in its entirety. Thank you for sharing these riveting tails.
Hey Scott, appreciate the comment. I do look forward to doing more of these kinds of stories for as long as I can. Will get to Jungle Lore too in dur course!
If you heard the squeal I made when I saw this get uploaded you'd be embarrassed on my behalf 🤦♂️🤣
SUBSCRIBE and leave a LIKE if you enjoyed this audio story! It will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Marvelous!
Thank you very much for posting this timeless story!
