Tiger-Man: An Odyssey of Freedom

New York/London: The Century Co.. Near Fine. (c.1932). First Edition. Hardcover. (no dust jacket) [a very nice copy, with just a smattering of tiny spots on the top edge of the text block]. (B&W photographs, frontispiece map) A biography of one Sacha Siemel, aka "Tiger-Man," who was (per Wikipedia) "an American/Argentinian adventurer, professional hunter, guide, actor, writer, photographer, and lecturer of Latvian origin [who claimed] to have successfully hunted more than 300 jaguars in the Mato Grosso jungles of Brazil, [a feat] deemed all the more impressive because on many of his hunts, he was reportedly armed only with a spear." The book is written, as the author explains, in "the form of [a] novel because I believe it to be truer to the spirit as well as being more readable." ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this moderately heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.
