"THE MAN-EATER OF PUNANAI: A VOYAGE OF DISCOVERY TO THE JUNGLES OF OLD CEYLON & FOUR STORIES OF THE EAST" BY CHRISTOPHER ONDAATJE. SOFTCOVER, FIRST EDITION, 2009, NO INSCRIPTIONS OR NAMES, 237 PAGES,  IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.

"The Man-Eater of Punanai is a fascinating story of a past rediscovered through a remarkable journey to one of the most exotic countries of the world - Sri Lanka. Full of drama and history, it not only relives the incredible story of a man-eating leopard that terrorized the tiny village of Punanai in the early part of the century, but also allows the author to come to terms with the ghost of his charismatic but tyrannical father. More than a simple tale of adventure, the story is the revelation of a colourful but troubled past - a charmed life that abruptly ended when the author was sent to school in England, away from the security of childhood and the family he loved so much. Through an evocative narrative we come to understand the forces that shaped this successful mercurial man and that eventually impelled him to give up much of his power in the business world in exchange for a more satisfying quest."
