1938^ⓘBorderline speculative: The ant invasion is very much larger than life, and even though the story is written as if it is an account of ordinary life in Brazil, it is the prototype of many more obviously speculative man-versus-nature stories. First published in Esquire, December 1938. The introduction in Crawling Horror states that in Esquire it was customary to list the translator for translated stories. They state that because none was listed, it can be assumed that Stephenson translated it himself. Filmed as The Naked Jungle (1954), starring Charlton Heston.	English	Leiningen Versus the Ants
