Descriere

Much-praised dramatization of a children's classic

Notă biografică

Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was a British author and poet best known for his works set in India, including The Jungle Book, Kim and Plain Tales from the Hills. Born in Bombay, British India, Kipling spent the first six years of his life in India before being sent to England to attend boarding school. His experiences of being torn between two cultures would later inform his writing, particularly in depiction of colonialism and its impact on both the colonized and the colonizers. Kipling began his writing career as a journalist, working for several newspapers in India and later in England. He quickly gained popularity for his vivid descriptions of life in India and his ability to capture the complexities of the region's diverse cultures. Kipling's first major literary success came with the publication of Plain Tales from the Hills (1888), a collection of short stories set in British India that showcased his gift for storytelling. However, it was Kipling's children's literature that would bring him international fame and acclaim. The Jungle Book, a collection of short stories and poems about animals in the Indian jungle, was published in 1894 and remains one of his most famous works. The book was an immediate success, and its enduring popularity has inspired numerous adaptations, including films, television series and stage productions.

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.

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
