An Astonishing Journey of Discovery Through the Sacred and Threatened Wilds of India.

In The Cobra's Gaze, award-winning author Stephen Alter invites readers on a profound expedition across India’s most diverse and untamed landscapes. From tracking king cobras in the steamy rainforests of Karnataka and spotting elusive snow leopards in the frozen heights of the Himalayas, to witnessing the roar of Asiatic lions in Gujarat's dry scrublands, this book captures the breathtaking scale of the subcontinent's biodiversity.

Alter delves deep into India's historical, mythical, and spiritual connections to nature, demonstrating how environmental reverence has long been an inalienable part of its heritage. Yet, the book delivers a sobering counter-narrative: as modern civilization encroaches, these pristine wildernesses are being systematically laid to waste. Paying homage to pioneering conservationists like Salim Ali, Billy Arjan Singh, and Jim Corbett, The Cobra's Gaze serves as both a dazzling celebration of Indian wildlife and an urgent, timely manifesto for ecological survival. It is an indispensable read for anyone seeking to understand our inextricable link to the natural world.
