Leiningen vs. the Ants (ESCP)

A man with an unflagging resolve faces down an onrushing horde of army ants after all others have fled.

This story was first published in the December 1938 edition of Esquire. It is a translation, probably by Stephenson himself, of Leiningens Kampf mit den Ameisen, which was originally published in German in 1937. The story inspired the movie The Naked Jungle, starring Charlton Heston.
