| Summary |
"Jungle Night" by William Beebe is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This book forms part of a collection of essays published under the "Atlantic Classics" series and explores the intricacies of jungle life, particularly the vibrancy and eeriness of the tropical jungle during the night. The narrative reflects on the beauty and strangeness of this environment through detailed observations of sounds, sights, and smells. In "Jungle Night," Beebe recounts an expedition into the jungle alongside his Akawai Indian hunter, Nupee. The essay vividly captures the enchanting and surreal qualities of the jungle illuminated by the moonlight, contrasting this with the vibrancy of the daytime jungle. As Beebe navigates through the night, he describes strange sounds such as the calling of frogs and the vivid encounters with various creatures, highlighting their interactions with the environment. The writing encompasses themes of friendship and understanding the natural world in its wild form, as well as a deep appreciation for the mystery of the forest. Beebe's musings reflect a blend of scientific exploration and poetic observation, making the essay a unique glimpse into the natural wonders of the jungle by night.
