Book
The Man-Eater
A dangerous lion becomes the catalyst for an adventure that begins in the Belgian Congo and reaches into the lives of Europeans and Americans connected by travel, money and personal rivalry. Burroughs combines animal adventure with crime, pursuit and romance as the consequences of events in Africa follow the characters elsewhere.
The story moves through the early-twentieth-century world of the Belgian Congo, international travel and wealthy transatlantic society. Burroughs uses the lion as both physical threat and catalyst, linking the dangers of colonial-era Africa to a wider plot of money, suspicion and pursuit.
