This collection is probably the single best starting place for reading Kipling, especially for younger or teen readers (though the very youngest would probably enjoy his _Just So Stories_ more). These stories are great reads, enjoyable by all ages.Fans of the movie will find a more complex work here — not “darker,” but more ambiguous; the three stories from this collection that have generally been adapted into other media, and that most readers think of when they think of “The Jungle Book”, focus on outcast human infant, Mowgli, who is abandoned as an infant in the jungle and raised by wolves, and primarily tell the story of his search for a “place” within the wolf pack, the Jungle, and the human world, and his outsider status in all three realms. Perhaps because they focus almost entirely on the Indian jungle, or perhaps because they’re aimed at children, these stories are also largely free of the undertone (overtone?) of imperialism that runs through much of Kipling’s work for adults.It has, of course, been massively influential on later writers, from Edgar Rice Burrough’s _Tarzan_ to Neil Gaiman’s _The Graveyard Book_. The various morals contained within the “Mowgli” stories were also taken as a motivational book within the Scouting movement (reading this helped me understand why I had to memorize “Akela” when I was a cub scout).While only three stories in this collection focus on Mowgli, Kipling did write a second collection, “The Second Jungle Book,” which is almost ent.
I don’t know if the India that Kipling transmits is the India of his time. But it’s a meaningless question. Art, with time, remains more real than the debris left by history: we love and know more about Don Quixote than Charles V. And so the India of Kipling is totally real to me, as are my Indian friends. Except that in Kipling with a touch of the British spirit of its time to, not only control the world, but to make it theirs. If you read the fiction of most of writers from the former countries of the Spanish Empire you will notice that, despite centuries of ancestors living there, they write about nature and natives as if they were something terrible and alien; Kipling instead embrace, and makes us embrace, the whole of India with deep love.Although Disney movies could make you think otherwise, this is a unique book of tales and songs with different protagonists, mostly animals, and certainly not only Mowgli. An exotic book as Bollywood movies are today, with their stories and their dances in between. I loved so much the descriptions of Bagheera, a sensuous shadow of velvet. The jungle so dense and so old. The ocean and the wars to survive in “The white seal.” Conflicts fueled by familiar bonds in “Rikki-Tikki-Tavi,” a tale in which I don’t think there is really an enemy. The almost supernatural call in “Toomai of the Elephants.” The last one, “Her Majesty’s servants”, I consider it more comical and maybe satirical. It was nice, but I didn’t liked so much as the rest.This.
“The Jungle Book” is a collection of stories (or fables) and songs/poems by Rudyard Kipling, and was originally published in 1894. The book consists of 7 short stories, separated by seven poems. The first three stories involve Mowgli, but the other four stories are not part of that series, nor do they all take place in the same jungle or any jungle at all. What these stories do have in common is the anthropomorphizing of animals as characters in these stories. As with all fables, these stories impart a moral message to the reader.”Mowgli’s Brothers” is the first story in the book and was originally published in January of 1894 in “St. Nicholas Magazine”. The story is about Mowgli being adopted by the wolf family which then raises him. With Shere Khan hunting in their area of the jungle, the Father Wolf (Akela) and the mother (Raksha) find and take in a human baby. At the wolf council, Baloo speaks for the cub, and Bagheera buys his life with a fresh kill. As time passes, Shere Khan turns most of the wolves against Mowgli, and they plot to overthrow Akela as the leader. Mowgli is then sent away from the wolves, vowing to return with Shere Khan’s hide. This story is followed by the “Hunting-Song of the Seeonee Pack”. “Kaa’s Hunting” is a short study from March-April of 1894. It takes place sometime during the period covered in “Mowgli’s Brothers”, though it isn’t mentioned in that story. It is a story about Mowgli’s abduction by monkees, a.k.a the Bandar-log. Baloo.
The Jungle Book is a series of short fables using animals as a manner to give moral lessons to our children and adults.Every word of this book contains an imperceptible component of morality at the end the reader will have a detailed and clear idea about the rule of the laws in the jungle.In other words the antithesis of this book is the anarchy made of abuses and injustices of all kinds whom are perpetrated by personages like Shere Khan.I have been impressed by the moral tone of this fable and in particular the so called Kim’s game which teaches on how to be a meticulous and critics player, if you prefer our children will be educated on how to read a book carefully.Another fundamental teaching for the development of a better and fair society is those of stressing on the fact that everybody has a purpose, for instance Mowgli being human is the only creature in the jungle that does not fear fire, a fundamental skill for the capture of Shere Khan.In my opinion the most “educative” personages are: Mowgli, Akela, Bagheera, Baloo, Shere Khan, Kaa, Father WolfCheersIP
What do you say about a classic. Kipling wrote many books about India during the Raj period. They are filled with stories of the period and the people, rich and poor, Anglo and Indian. The Jungle Book is a bit different in that the tales (no pun intended) are about animals. One of them Riki Tiki Too is about a mongoose, and the theme is the interdependence between people and animals and how they can learn to work together and appreciate each other. I highly recommend this book, for children as well as adults. There is a lot to learn here. I’ve read it through several times starting when it was read to me as a young child.
I love having it, but the only minus is I wish it was just like brand new, but it’s not. The pages have yellowed, sadly. I suppose there’s no one putting out a fresh reprint of this Junior Library edition from 1950–I’d buy it again! I formerly had one from a book store I stumbled across back in 1980 or so, and I cherished it dearly, but it was lost during moves. Thanks for the shop for sending it in pretty good condition, anyway.
First of all, I should start off by saying that the Jungle Book is a collection of a few short stories, not just the one that most people know and love from Disney. These stories are;Mowgli’s Brother (the classic most people know)The White SealRikki-Tikki-TaviToomai of the ElephantsHer Majesties ServantsThese are all the short stories that are in there and are part of the book, and they all have some of their own short songs, or poems about the stories. Overall I loved all of the stories. The Toomai of the Elephants to me was not that interesting and Her Majesties Servants also was not too interesting. I think that this was overall a great book and I would recommend it.
Overall I have to say I’m very entertained by this version, original or not. There are parts of the story that are perhaps too graphic for children such as when it describes Mowgli skinning Shere Khan’s corpse. In addition to JB you get 4 or 5 other tales. One is the classic tale of Riki Tiki Tavi which was a nice surprise! The others include a story about a white seal, another told from the POV of a man who can secretly understand animals’ speech, and another alternately told from an elephant’s perspective, then from a small boy’s. So you get JB plus a handful of other stories, and all for free! How can you really complain?
First off, the one star review here makes absolutely no sense and frankly I’m embarrassed to see it. This is not the Disney version, this is the original Rudyard Kipling story–as in, the actual author and creator of the Jungle Book partially for which he would win a Nobel Prize in Literature. This is a faithful rendition of the original story, and it does an excellent job of rendering a richly woven story into action-oriented panels. The Disney versions (old and new) are cartoony stories that void the real texture and meaning of the story and render it as so much brightly colored disposable mindlessness. If that type of pablum is what you want to feed your kids, look elsewhere. If by contrast you want an accessible introduction to one of the great entries into all-ages literature, this is one of the best choices on the market.
This book is a great classic. Mr. Kipling is a master of short stories, and you will enjoy each one. These stories are just timeless, and definitely to be treasured!!!
