The Lonely Tiger, authored by Hugh Allen, is one of the best books written on hunting, living in a remote village, farming and the retired life of a man from the British Armed Forces.
Hugh Allen decided to live in India and chose an estate in Mandhikera, a remote village in the central part of the country. He had previously served in the British Armed Forces at the end of the Second World War. He started farming in a piece of land, but had to face many issues from the native villagers, and also leopards, bears, monkeys and tigers and other wild animals. This book chronicles his encounters with these wild and beautiful creatures, and how the adventures enriched his retired life. His narration is filled with thrilling events that occur in the forests and thumps with energy. It also pours light on issues like the fast receding number of tigers and poignantly explains the reality and what measures could be taken to preserve the exotic wild life. The author also describes how he fell in love with a country as diverse as India.
