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.

Good idea presented with such incredibly labored prose, I couldn't bring myself to continue reading. So I tried listening instead.

Huh? WTF? This is easily the most abstruse and pretentious writing ever to find a publisher. It must be some kind of literary hoax between the author, the publisher, the critics, and all the English teachers in the world, a joke.

Anyone??
