\"THE TWO JUNGLE BOOKS\"
by Rudyard Kipling.
YOU\'LL LOVE THIS BOOK!!!
It contains a collection of fables using animals in an anthropomorphic manner to give moral lessons.
The verses of\"The Law of the Jungle,\"for example, lay down rules for the safety of individuals, families and communities. Kipling put in them nearly everything he knew or \"heard or dreamed about the Indian jungle.\"
Other readers have interpreted the work as allegories of the politics and society of the time. The best-known of them are the three stories revolving around the adventures of an abandoned \"man cub\" Mowgli who is raised by wolves in the Indian jungle.
The most famous of the other stories are probably\"Rikki-Tikki-Tavi,\"the story of a heroic mongoose, and \"Toomai of the Elephants,\" the tale of a young elephant-handler. Kotick,\"The White Seal\"seeking a haven for his people where they would be safe from hunters, has been considered a metaphor for Zionism, then in its beginning.
Imagine growing up among wolves, being friends with apanther and a bear, and hunting the most fearsome animal in the wild—theman-killing tiger Shere Khan. Rudyard Kipling portrays the exciting andadventurous jungle upbringing of Mowgli in this timeless classic. Stillamazingly contemporary even though it was written more than 100 years ago, thepacing, language, and characters will keep readers, young and old, turning thepages and then begging for more.
The Jungle Book, which was originally published in 1894,scintillates with as much life and intensity as ever. Mowgli, a humanfoundling, is rescued from the dangerous Share Khan and raised by a pack ofwolves. He learns the ways of the jungle from Baloo- the wise and lovable bearand Bhageera- the panther. The book is full of thrilling adventures,unforgettable animal characters, and of course Mowgli – the man-cub who hasendeared himself to the hearts of generations of Jungle Book readers.
Originally published in two volumes, this edition collectsall the Mowgli stories and adds the very popular Rikki-Tikki-Tavi and Toomai ofthe Elephants.
The Jungle Book is a well-loved children\'s book. There are SEVERALshort stories included in this work. Throughout, Kipling gives voice to thevarious animals that live in the jungle. They have very human-like qualities.The animalistic responses are never excluded. Rather, each character is acombination of human and animal. The best known of the seven stories are theones that tell of the human boy, Mowgli, who is abandoned in the jungle, raisedby a wolf family but makes friends with several of the animals in the jungle.Unfortunately, Mowgli also makes an enemy or two as well.
