Synopsis "The Jungle Book: Complete Series"

The Jungle Book (1894) and The Second Jungle Book (1895) are collections of stories made famous by English author Rudyard Kipling. This ebook contains both of these beloved works. Through numerous adventures with a cast of engaging characters, the Jungle Book stories are fables, using animals in an anthropomorphic manner, to give moral lessons. A principal character of the stories is the boy or "man-cub" Mowgli, who is raised in the jungle by wolves. Other central characters include Shere Khan the tiger and Baloo the bear. The Jungle Book stories were first published serially in magazines from 1893 to 1894. The original publications contain illustrations, some by the author's father, John Lockwood Kipling. The Jungle Book stories were written when Kipling lived in Naulakha, the home he built in Dummerston, Vermont, in the United States. Kipling may have written the Jungle Book stories for his young daughter Josephine. The Jungle Books have had wide-ranging influence across generations and have been adapted many times for film and other media and are not to be missed. This illustrated edition includes the original illustrations by Rudyard's father, John Lockwood Kipling, to facilitate the books' enjoyment.

Bombay, (1865-1936). Rudyard Kipling escribió novelas, poemas y relatos ambientados principalmente en la India y Birmania durante la época de gobierno británico. Kipling fue un escritor prolífico y popular, y su literatura gira siempre en torno a tres ejes: el patriotismo, el deber de los ingleses de llevar una vida de intensa actividad y el destino de Inglaterra, llamada a ser un gran imperio. Su insistencia en este último aspecto era sin duda un eco del pasado victoriano, y perjudicó gravemente su reputación como escritor, a pesar de que fue el primer autor británico galardonado con el Nobel de Literatura.
