Presentation of publisher: known as the Jungle Book the adventures of Mowgli, a young cartoon or movie. But the original book by Rudyard Kipling conflates seven stories. The first three depict Mowgli, a little boy flew into a village by the tiger Shere Khan, rescued by a wolf pack and taken under their protection by the panther Bagheera and Baloo the bear. Then come the adventures of Kotick the White Seal seeking for his fellows a place where men can not slaughter them, Rikki-tikki-tavi, mongoose who saves his adorable little master of a terrible couple of cobras; of Toomai the little showman who wanted to see the elephants dance ... The author, storyteller beautiful, great lover and connoisseur of India and nature, offers a magical journey to the heart of the jungle, among the wolves, tigers and elephants. In her world, animals talk shows and often wise, sometimes cruel, they are scary as Kaa the snake and Shere Khan the tiger, endearing as Rikki-tikki-tavi the mongoose ...
Kipling, in a sober and elegant, like someone said the magic and poetry of the country where he spent his childhood: impossible to resist the captivating charm of his stories. - Pascale Wester - This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
few words
The Jungle Book, we all know the version of Walt Disney, which differs version of this novel.
In the Jungle Book is not only the story of Mowgli and his friends. There are other short stories with their little moral: we find the story of a mongoose, that of an elephant, a donkey and horse, and also that of an era.
is the first time I read the writing of the author, and I fell in love. I could also find the poems that I had heard a lot about - we are always one or two short stories each. My only regret is not having to try to read it in English, probably next time:)
