Yet it is among its dark forests and bamboo groves that the renowned hunter Tremal-Naik makes his home. For years he has lived there in peace, quietly going about his trade until, one night, a strange apparition appears before him - a beautiful young woman that vanishes in an instant. Within days, strange music is heard in the jungle then one of his men is found dead without a mark upon his body. Determined to get some answers, the hunter sets off with his faithful servant Kammamuri, but as they head deeper into the jungles of the Sundarbans, they soon find their own lives at risk; a deadly new foe has been watching their every move, a foe that threatens all of British India. Part of a series of adventures that includes: Sandokan: The Tigers of Mompracem and Sandokan: The Pirates of Malaysia. Review: EXCELLENT classic adventure! - I've gotten into Emilio Salgari's books in the last year, and they are immensely fun. Mystery of the Black Jungle is no exception and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a classic adventure story. The settings are vivid and the sense of mystery and adventure into the unknown keeps you turning the pages. They are a bit dated by how some animals are portrayed as these deadly and aggressive creatures (or maybe I just don't know how animals actually act), and the heroes feel like they get severe tunnel vision every now and then and make foolish choices, but that doesn't hurt Salgari's stories' entertainment level one bit. It's a shame that Salgari isn't more well-known in the USA. He belongs with the ranks of Kipling, Stevenson, and Verne. Review: An Orientalist Extravaganza - Well, the novel is good and entertaining as far as literary merits are concerned. The reason I do not give it the highest rating is the author's appalling lack of knowledge about the country he was writing on. Tremal Naik? Is that at all a Bengali name? And which Bengali (Hindu or otherwise) does not know about Mother Kali? The author also knew little about the historical Thugs and gives us a garbled version of Thuggee instead. It is true that the tale is entertainingly fast paced. But one may find this element in abundance in any contemporary thriller. Perhaps, in our age, the book is good only to researchers. ## Features - ISBN13: 9780978270711 - Condition: New - Notes: BRAND NEW FROM PUBLISHER! 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.

Mystery of the Black Jungle is no exception and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a classic adventure story. The settings are vivid and the sense of mystery and adventure into the unknown keeps you turning the pages. They are a bit dated by how some animals are portrayed as these deadly and aggressive creatures (or maybe I just don't know how animals actually act), and the heroes feel like they get severe tunnel vision every now and then and make foolish choices, but that doesn't hurt Salgari's stories' entertainment level one bit. It's a shame that Salgari isn't more well-known in the USA. He belongs with the ranks of Kipling, Stevenson, and Verne. ### ⭐⭐⭐ An Orientalist Extravaganza *by A***N on 23 July 2021* Well, the novel is good and entertaining as far as literary merits are concerned. The reason I do not give it the highest rating is the author's appalling lack of knowledge about the country he was writing on. Tremal Naik? Is that at all a Bengali name? And which Bengali (Hindu or otherwise) does not know about Mother Kali? The author also knew little about the historical Thugs and gives us a garbled version of Thuggee instead. It is true that the tale is entertainingly fast paced. But one may find this element in abundance in any contemporary thriller. Perhaps, in our age, the book is good only to researchers. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great rumble in the Indian jungle. *by V***Z on 21 November 2017* Having read and enjoyed Emilio Salgari’s The Tigers of Mompracem (see my review) I learned that a prominent character in his Sandokan saga, Tremal-Naik the hunter, first appears in The Mystery of the Black Jungle. So, being an organized reader and writer, I backtracked and read it before forging on to the next Sandokan installment. The unique thing about Tremal-Naik is that unlike some better known fictive heroes such as H. Rider Haggard’s Allan Quartemain, or Hollywood’s Jungle Jim, he’s a renown Indian hunter who works around the delta of the Ganges River in 1850s British India. While by a riverside on several occasions he gazes at the opposite bank and beholds a young woman so stunningly beautiful that he instantly falls madly in love with her. And she is just as smitten by the love bug as Tremal-Naik. Impossible you say? Not so in classic genre fiction, of which this book is a fine example. However, Ada Corishant – for that is the beauty’s name – lives in the Black Jungle; a place so ominous that few dare tread. Dead set on finding her our lovesick hero, his pet Bengal tiger Darma and his faithful servant Kammamuri trek there, only to discover that she is a white priestess worshiped by the Thugs; a mean and vicious Indian cult who are sworn enemies of the British. What follows is at the very heart of this highly enjoyable novel. With skill and dexterity Emilio Salgari – whose knowledge of local flora and fauna always impresses; though a glossary would’ve been helpful – leads us into one extraordinary episode after another until the very last page, in which a breathtaking conclusion rewards the avid reader. Enjoy. -Victor Rodriguez, author of Taíno Sunrise. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/431936747-roh-press-the-mystery-of-the-black-jungle](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/431936747-roh-press-the-mystery-of-the-black-jungle) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-11*
