# "Jean-Jacques Annaud's film Two Brothers, which tells the story of two tiger cubs captured in Cambodia in the 1920s, has led Karine Lou Matignon to explore the long-standing tale of love and fear that we have with the largest of the big cats. [The author] recounts the myriad spiritual beliefs, myths and superstitions associated with the tiger over the centuries, as well as presenting a history of tigers in the wild, discussing their ancestors and how they have evolved, how they live, and the dangers that now face them." Illustrated with many good colour photographs. Originally published in French.
