Welcome! Here we are all about the age-old tradition of storytelling, providing a powerful auditory stimulus for the brain. We read and discuss anything from wildlife adventure tales and shikar stories to cultural relics and historical artifacts of an era long gone by.
By making the audio version of some of these amazing stories and books publicly available, we hope to inspire and entertain. Not only are they fascinating to listen to, but they are also little time capsules that can transport a listener back in time to a different world.
These timeless tales have been a part of the collective consciousness of many from an older generation. We aim to keep them alive in the consciousness of the current and future generations as well.

At 1:08. „The Kaiser‘s war“? It was Britain that declared a war on the Kaiser and then turned it into a world war. The Kaiser wanted no war with Britain. It was just the opposite.
Cruel and shameful if the animal wsnt a man eater shouldn't have ben killed if people stayed the hell out of the forest and didn't use it for their fonestic animals this tiger panther human conflict wouldn't arise
Hi Love your channel and the way u read the story. May I suggest few more from Keneth Anderson that u should consider to read . Killer from Hyderabad, The Novice of Manchi, The lame horror of Paddacherruvu, The killer of Wynaad, The MAN-HATER of Talainovu Thanks
Selva lore and the wild west extravaganza are the 2 best things on the Internet both are informative and an absolute joy to listen to and they make learning so much fun!
My mother was the librarian for the small library in a little town in Southwest Kansas in the United States. I grew up reading virtually every book in the library. The writings of Jim Corbett were high up on my list. I'm retired now, and legally blind. It is very nice for me to hear these stories again. It's not quite like being a boy dreaming of adventures, but it's very nice. Thank you.
Let's be honest, elephants killing humans isn't new...but the snatching a baby from her arms and eating parts of the ones he killed IS definitely a new one.
Stories about Jim Corbett, Frederick Selous, Karamojo Bell, Harry Selby, Peter Capstick, J.H. Patterson, and more are stories I love to read and hear. My heroes have always been hunters
The first thing I would do if a relation was taken by anything I’d chase after it. I don’t think I could live with myself if I didn’t… these people jus go “ welp , there so and so goes with the tiger! Better run home and peek through the window for someone else to handle it “ It’s like the 29 th story with the same ole reaction…. Disgusting
After listening to this recording I could not sleep well for several nights because of the way Corbett describes the encounter near the rock. The vivid description with my vivid imagination was not helping and it took me almost 1.5 years to heal out of that. This time I tried again listening to the entire Jim Corbett recordings of yours and I don't know how but the fear seems to have vanished. Now I am going to listen to them countless times. After the bits and pieces of stories about Corbett from my grandpa and dad 3 decades ago, this is the first time I am able to cover them all completely. I am waiting for the day when my little ones are old enough to listen to these. Thank you a ton Viraaj Singh.
Agreed - superlative narrations, and I love the sound effects, really make the story even more entertaining! Best of all, these stories are true and based on fact. What a tremendous release to the surrounding populace to have these man eaters and dangerous animals dealt with permitting them to go forward with their lives. Thank you many times, Mr. Selva Lore 😊👏😊
1:51:00 (SPOILER) One thing I've always wondered about is for the Chowgarh Tigress it seemingly had Jim in check? An 8-foot tiger leap would be too fast for a human to react, and secondly he looked it in the eye. From the "tiger perspective" what reason could there be to not attack at this point? Any move Jim would make would either be a defensive move, which presumably would take him farther away or an offensive move, which is dangerous to the tiger. He deduces, seemingly by intuition, it won't attack unless he makes the first move and slowly swings his rifle into place and wins, saving not only his own life but the lives of the many villagers who would otherwise be killed. But from a cold rational perspective it seems like the tiger, misplayed this at the very end. Was it simply too cautious, or too slow, or (if you can ascribe human emotions to a tiger) wanted him to have a moment of terror and knowledge he'd been beaten? I'd be interested to hear what anyone else, especially anyone who has experience with tigers and big game, think happened there?
@@selvalore I do have a question for you if you have time. It seems like there was one story where the author ended up in an old temple that was heavy with lantana tangles. He followed the Tigress, if I remember correctly, through those tangles and shot her At close quarters. It was near the end of the story. Do you recall what book or author this is? Thank you so much for all you do.
So even Jim Colbert seen the witch lights i been seeing them for years yhey atr caused by demoic spirits by people practicing witchcraft and black magic with all those temples there and all the coolies worshipping demonic spirits its not surprising
I'm relatively new to your channel, having only been listening to your recordings for about threeish months. I've listened to nearly all of them and have loved every story. As much as i love these historical true stories I've been wondering lately if you would ever consider ever doing anything fictional. Personally, if you've never read Gary Paulson, I think you would enjoy his work although he is considered a "youth author" here in the USA. I believe many people would enjoy hearing your voice tell the story of "Brian's Hunt." Keep up the fantastic job, and best wishes.
Thank you for the message and the recommendation! I'm quite open to narratinh other genres and different authors. In this case however, it is almost a certainty that Gary Paulson's works are copyright protected and will be for a long time.
