The Beast in the Jungle by Henry James
4.0
4.5
He saw the Jungle of his life and saw the lurking Beast.
This is the story of one man’s obsession with fate and destiny; of his allowing this sense of foreboding, the conviction of something terrible coming his way, to haunt him like a beast of the jungle.
He lives with this apprehension day in day out, waiting for the imminent catastrophe; waiting for the beast to jump out from his hiding place.
The Beast in the Jungle is a story about loneliness, love, meaning of life, loss and death.
What had the man had, to make him by the loss of it so bleed and yet live?
