About this listen

The Beast in the Jungle is the tale of a man's habitual obsession with himself and his fate. It is is considered one of James' finest short narratives. The story deals with four universal themes: loneliness, fate, love and death. The saga of John Marcher and his peculiar destiny has inspired many readers who have speculated on the worth and meaning of human life.
