Beskrivelse af The Rifle and the Hound in Ceylon
The Rifle And The Hound In Ceylon is a book written by Sir Samuel White Baker, an English explorer, writer and naturalist. The book is a memoir of his experiences hunting in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) during the mid-19th century.Baker describes the lush and exotic landscapes of Ceylon, as well as the various animals he encountered while hunting, including elephants, leopards, and wild boars. He also details the challenges he faced while hunting, such as navigating through thick jungle and dealing with dangerous wildlife.In addition to his hunting adventures, Baker also provides insight into the culture and customs of the local people, including their religious beliefs and practices.The Rifle And The Hound In Ceylon is a fascinating account of a bygone era, and offers a unique perspective on the natural beauty and wildlife of Ceylon during the 19th century.There is one thing necessary to the enjoyment of sport in Ceylon, and without which no amount of game can afford thorough pleasure; this is personal comfort. Unlike a temperate climate, where mere attendance becomes a luxury, the pursuit of game in a tropical country is attended with immense fatigue and exhaustion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
