The Jungle Book: Arcturus Keyhole Classics

Autor Rudyard Kipling Ilustrat de Kayla Stark
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 aug 2021
The Jungle Book is seven mostly unrelated short stories-some not even in the jungle-and seven short works of verse related to the story. The first set of three stories stars a young boy named Mowgli. He is raised by wolves, trained by a bear, kidnapped by monkeys, rescued by a panther and a snake, and kills and skins a tiger. All this before he hits puberty. In "The White Seal," Kotick, the titular white seal, who lives in the Bering Sea (which is not the jungle), sees his adorable, cute, cuddly, fuzzy seal buddies get clubbed to death and their bloody skins ripped from their little bodies. Yikes. He decides to search for an island where all seals can be safe, but when he finds it, all the seals are too lazy to move. Talk about ungrateful, right? Kotick, who's all big and strong from all the swimming, kicks all the seals' tails. Impressed by his strength, they follow him to safety. Our protagonist in "Toomai of the Elephants" is Toomai (of the elephants). He follows his elephant Kala Nag into the jungle and witnesses a top-secret elephant dance ritual. Finally, there's "Our Majesty's Servants," in which a bunch of military service animals-donkeys, camels, and horses, oh my-chat about fear and obedience. We didn't forget "Rikki-tikki-tavi" either. The most iconic star of The Jungle Book next to Mowgli the boy wonder gets his Shmoop on Rudyard Kipling was born in Bombay, then in British India, December 30, 1865 and died in London on 18 January 1936, is a British writer. His children's books have been free newsletter a success that has never wavered, including The Jungle Book (1894), The Second Jungle Book (1895), Just So Stories (1902), Puck, sprite hill (1906). He is also the author of the novel Kim (1901), poems (Mandalay (1890), Gunga Din (1890), and you'll be a Man, my son (1910) are among the most famous) and new, including L 'Man who would be King (1888) and the collection Plain tales from the hills (1888). It was considered an "innovator in the art of the new", a precursor of science fiction and one of the greatest writers of children's literature. His work demonstrates a talent for storytelling that is expressed in various forms. From the late nineteenth century to the mid twentieth century, Kipling has remained one of the most popular writers of the English language. The writer Henry James wrote about it: "Kipling touches me personally as the most complete man of genius I have ever known. " In 1907, he was the first English-language author to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature, and the youngest to have received (in 42 years). Subsequently, he refused a knighthood. However, Kipling was often considered a "prophet of British imperialism" in the words of George Orwell. The controversy about prejudice and militarism that would be present in his work went through the entire twentieth century. According to the literary critic Douglas Kerr: "It remains an author who inspires passionate rejection reactions, and his place in literary and cultural history is far from being firmly established. However, at a time when the European empires were down, it is recognized as an incomparable interpreter, if controversial, of how the empire was experienced. This, combined with his extraordinary narrative genius, gives it a strength that can only recognize.

Notă biografică

Rudyard Kipling wurde am 30. Dezember 1865 in Bombay geboren und starb am 18. Januar 1936 in London. Er war ein britischer Schriftsteller und Dichter.

Als Sohn eines Kunstlehrers wuchs Kipling die ersten fünf Jahre in Indien auf. Dann wurde er mit seiner jüngeren Schwester, wie damals für viele anglo-indische Kinder üblich, nach England geschickt und dort bei Pflegeeltern aufgezogen. Kipling litt unter deren strengem Regiment und kehrte 1882 nach Indien zurück. Zunächst arbeitete er dort als Journalist.

Auch als Schriftsteller wurde Kipling erfolgreich: Bis 1888 veröffentlichte er sechs Bände mit Kurzgeschichten, bevor er wieder nach England reiste. Er ließ sich in London nieder und heiratete 1892 seine Frau Caroline Balastie, mit der er wiederum in die USA auswanderte und drei Kinder bekam. Dort begann er mit dem Schreiben von Kinder- und Jugendbüchern, u.a. das weltbekannte Werk "The Jungle Book". Nach vier Jahren kehrte die Familie abermals zurück nach England und Kipling bereiste auch Afrika. Für seine 1899 verstorbene Tochter schrieb er das Buch "Just So Stories". Mit seinem Roman "Kim" entstand 1901 sein bedeutendstes Werk. Kipling erhielt 1907 den Nobelpreis für Literatur.

Zunächst Kriegsbefürworter, änderte sich Kiplings Haltung als 1915 sein Sohn als Soldat mit nur 18 Jahren ums Leben kam. Seine Erzählungen wurden düsterer, der Erfolg blieb aus und er geriet zunehmend in Vergessenheit.

Rudyard Kipling starb 1936 im Alter von 70 Jahren an einer Hirnblutung.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Among the most popular children's books ever written, "The Jungle Book" (1894) comprises a series of stories about Mowgli, a boy raised in the jungle by a family of wolves after a tiger has attacked and driven off his parents. Threatened throughout much of his young life by the dreaded tiger Shere Khan, Mowgli is protected by his adoptive family and learns the lore of the jungle from Baloo, a sleepy brown bear, and Bagheera, the black panther.
Subtle lessons in justice, loyalty, and tribal law pervade these imaginative tales, recounted by a master storyteller with a special talent for entertaining audiences of all ages. Included are such tales as "Rikki-tikki-tavi," a story about a brave mongoose and his battle with the deadly cobra Nag; Mowgli's abduction by the monkey people; and "Toomai of the Elephants," in which a young boy witnesses a secret ritual and is honored by his tribesmen.
This inexpensive, unabridged edition of "The Jungle Book" promises to enchant a new generation of young readers, as it recalls to their elders the pleasure of reading or hearing these stories for the first time.


Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

First published by Macmillan in 1894, "The Jungle Book" is the classic collection of animal tales that shows Rudyard Kipling's writing for children at its best. The short stories and poems include the tale of Mowgli, a boy raised by a pack of wolves in the Indian jungle. We meet the tiger Shere Khan, Bagheera, the black panther, Baloo, the 'sleepy brown bear, ' and the python, Kaa. Other famous stories include the tale of the fearless mongoose Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, and that of elephant-handler Toomai of the Elephants. With a beautiful foiled cover, this edition from the original publisher of Rudyard Kipling's much-loved classic is a book to treasure.


Recenzii

"The original stories of The Jungle Book surpass all rollicking Disneyfied expectations. On one level, the Mancub's education is pure entertainment; on another, the jungle is symbolic of Kipling's philosophy of life, a moral playground in which the young learn to swing on the vines of life" The Times "The incantatory text of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Books still rewards reading aloud" Sunday Times "Around a century ago, Rudyard Kipling laid the foundations of modern children's literature with works such as The Jungle Book, Just So Stories and Puck of Pook's Hill. Far from the fusty Victorian conventions of the time, they were wild, magnificent stories that felt as though they'd always existed, stories people might have told each other in the caves" Daily Telegraph "So what makes these different to any other set of classics? In a moment of inspiration Random House had the bright idea of actually asking Key stage 2 children what extra ingredients they could add to make children want to read. And does it work? Well, put it this way...my 13-year-old daughter announced that she had to read a book over the summer holiday and, without any prompting, spotted The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas...and proceeded to read it! Now, if you knew my 13-year-old daughter, you would realise that this is quite remarkable. She reads texts, blogs and tags by the thousand - but this is the first book she has read since going to high school, so all hail Vintage Classics!" National Association for the Teaching of English
