The Jungle Books de Rudyard Kipling

The Jungle Books: Easy Readers (Englisch)

Autor Rudyard Kipling
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 sep 2016

Observăm, încă de la primele pagini, imaginea unui pui de om care se joacă nestingherit printre lupi în inima junglei indiene, sub privirea protectoare a Mamei Lup. The Jungle Books nu este doar o culegere de povestiri pentru copii, ci un mit literar complex în care Rudyard Kipling reușește să sintetizeze observația naturalistă cu filozofia budistă și ecourile propriei copilării petrecute în Bombay. Dincolo de escapadele palpitante ale lui Mowgli alături de ursul Baloo și pantera Bagheera, volumul explorează tensiunea dintre civilizație și sălbăticie, oferind un portret simbolic al relației dintre om și natură. Simțim în aceste pagini o profunzime care transcende genul aventurii. Ritmul narativ variază de la tensiunea dramatică din duelul purtat de mangusta Rikki-tikki-tavi cu cobrele veninoase, până la umorul macabru din 'The Undertakers'. Cine a citit Illustrated Kipling Classics va recunoaște aici arhetipurile prieteniei și ale onoarei din regnul animal, însă ediția de față se distinge prin includerea întregului corpus de povestiri, oferind o perspectivă mult mai nuanțată asupra „Legii Junglei”. În contextul operei sale, The Jungle Books ocupă un loc central, fiind puntea de legătură între schițele jurnalistice din Plain Tales from the Hills și maturitatea narativă din Kim. Dacă în alte scrieri Kipling se concentrează pe peisajul social al Indiei coloniale, aici el reconstruiește un univers primordial unde moralitatea este dictată de supraviețuire și respect reciproc. Această ediție de lux, legată în pânză, transformă lectura într-o experiență tactilă, onorând moștenirea primului autor de limbă engleză laureat al Premiului Nobel.

Despre autor

Joseph Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936) a fost un jurnalist, poet și romancier britanic, născut în India, țară care a servit drept sursă principală de inspirație pentru vasta sa operă. Considerat un inovator al prozei scurte, Kipling a captivat publicul prin darul său narativ versatil și luminos. Printre cele mai cunoscute lucrări ale sale se numără The Jungle Book, Kim și celebrul poem „If—”. În 1907, la vârsta de 41 de ani, a devenit cel mai tânăr și primul scriitor de limbă engleză distins cu Premiul Nobel pentru Literatură. Deși a refuzat titlul de Poet Laureat și rangul de cavaler, opera sa rămâne un pilon al literaturii universale, fiind înmormântat în Colțul Poeților din Westminster Abbey.

Descriere scurtă

Kipling's best-loved work, now in a gorgeous new clothbound edition designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith. These delectable and collectable editions are bound in high-quality, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design.

The story of Mowgli, the man-cub who is brought up by wolves in the jungles of Central India, is one of the greatest literary myths ever created. As he embarks on a series of thrilling escapades, Mowgli encounters such unforgettable creatures as the bear Baloo, the graceful black panther Bagheera and Shere Khan, the tiger with the blazing eyes. Other animal stories in The Jungle Books range from the dramatic battle between good and evil in 'Rikki-tikki-tavi' to the macabre comedy 'The Undertakers'. With The Jungle Books Rudyard Kipling drew on ancient beast fables, Buddhist philosophy and memories of his Anglo-Indian childhood to create a rich, symbolic portrait of man and nature, and an eternal classic of childhood.



Rudyard Kipling was born in Bombay in 1865. In 1882 Kipling started work as a journalist in India, and while there produced a body of work, stories, sketches and poems - notably Plain Tales from the Hills(1888) - which made him an instant literary celebrity when he returned to England in 1889. His most famous works include The Jungle Book (1894), Kim (1901) and the Just So Stories (1902). Kipling refused to accept the role of Poet Laureate and other civil honours, but he was the first English writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize, in 1907. He died in 1936.

Recenzii

The incantatory text of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Books still rewards reading aloud.
The Jungle Book was one of those rare books that I felt I was actually living as I read it.
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.
The stories are timeless, carefully crafted classics, and although they're intended for children, there is no doubt in my mind that this terrific book will appeal equally to young and old
The superlative story-telling is world-renowned... a good edition of these classics

Notă biografică

Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936) was born in Bombay, the son of an Anglo-Indian professor of architectural sculpture. There he was brought up in the care of “ayahs,” or native nurses, who taught him Hindustani and the native lore that always haunted his imagination and can be seen reflected in The Jungle Books. At the age of six, he was sent to England. At twelve, he was sent to a school at Westward Ho!, the scene of Stalky &Co. In 1883, he returned to India and embarked on a career in journalism, writing the news stories as well as the tales and ballads that began to make his reputation. After seven years, he went back to England, the literary star of the hour. He married an American and stayed in Vermont off and on from 1892 to 1894. Then he returned to the English countryside, where he remained, except for a few trips abroad, for the rest of his life. The author of innumerable stories and poems, Rudyard Kipling is best known for Soldiers Three (1888), The Light That Failed (1890), The Jungle Books (1894–95), Captains Courageous (1897), Stalky &Co. (1899), Kim (1901), and Just So Stories (1902). Among many other honors, he received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
The Jungle Books can be regarded as classic stories told by an adult to children. But they also constitute a complex literary work of art in which the whole of Kipling's philosophy of life is expressed in miniature. They are best known for the `Mowgli' stories; the tale of a baby abandoned and brought up by wolves, educated in the ways and secrets of the jungle by Kaa the python, Baloo the bear, and Bagheera the black panther.The stories, a mixture of fantasy, myth, and magic, are underpinned by Kipling's abiding preoccupation with the theme of self-discovery, and the nature of the `Law'. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
