What the hell happend at the end ?
Your guess is as good as mine...but actually the author (during his intro) seems to hint that Porteus survived to share his tale of near death.
During his intro the author defenitely stated that Lt.Porteus narrated a hunting incident to the author which was fresh in the lieutenant's mind . There was nothing about a near death experience . But the ending of the narrative indicates trampling by the elephant.
The author seems to have deliberately left the ending open to interpretation as a literary device, allowing listeners to decide whether Porteus truly met his fate at the hands of the rogue or survived his injuries to tell the tale. Too bad we can no longer get clarification from the author as he is long deceased...
Very nice
Mucho gusto
Sweet moves
You have a talent of finding the most unusual tales. Keep up the good work.
Your efforts in getting this audiobook for us to enjoy is commendable. I loved it.
Today the tigers can eat all the people they want and they not allowed to be killed because of the animal rights lucunitics
Deja vul
What a twist! Loved it
Such a haunting sad tale of desperate immigrants... thanks for the well-narrated tale...the song at the end was also a nice fitting surprise !
Great graphics too!
Glad to know this rare incident happened a century ago and hasn't been a big problem since. It seems conservation efforts have made sure wolves are no longer in the endangered species in spite of continued human-wildlife conflict like in Eastern Europe.
I have been looking for this story for quite a while, but could not remember its title. Thank you for posting this. Amazing tale!!
Ditto
That was pretty good thank you
Wolves don't attack people in this manner. This is a complete fiction. It is crap like this story that has led to the near extinction of this majestic animal.
How do you know they don't attack this way years ago?
your narration is amazing brother
This looks like a lot of effort to get this done. Should be a library stocked book.
What an amazing story.
This is a unique presentation of a French story. It is a treat and a pleasure to absorb.
Nice stories .. thank you so much

S. Fragoso Lima is a pen name for Horacio Quiroga, who wrote "El Devorador de Hombres" sometime between 1908 and 1911.
