Seller good and proper Object beautiful, good packaging, fast delivery, thanks, Bianca. I think some people pleasure to give negative. My whole life I have not received more serious charges!!! Op dit moment nog steeds niks binnen, maar ik heb nog even geduld. And by the way, also like the Bible, I had to hate many of Kipling's 'heroes.
Rikki-Tikki made me want to stamp on a member of the family Herpestidae, pronto. I was rooting for the cobras. To conclude, if you're willing to accept a whack of disgustingly antiquated values threaded into not-especially-imaginative stories, you can enjoy The Jungle Book. I'm sorry that I couldn't find more to like in it. But it's safe to say, for once, that Walt Disney's job is probably better at the very least, less offensive! View all 24 comments.

This was my first book completed on the Serial Reader app, an awesome way to read classic works of literature in less than fifteen minutes a day.
Most ev Full review posted below. I enjoyed reading about Mowgli and his adventures growing up as the lone man-cub in the jungle. Bagheera the Panther, Baloo the Bear, and Kaa the Python all had different personalities than their film counterparts, but were just as much fun to read as they are to watch. Mowgli was headstrong and clever and never backed down from a challenge. Raised by a Wolfpack against the wishes of Shere Khan, the man-eating Tiger, Mowgli lived an interesting life to say the least.
He learned every language present in the jungle, and then spent some time in a human village and learned to speak as they speak. But the village could not hold him. He conquered his foes and returned to the jungle, triumphant. Besides the main story of Mowgli, Kipling also included the stories of Kotick, the White Seal; Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, the Mongoose; Toomai, the Elephant boy; and different animals in the military, who argue about whose method of fighting is right.
I completely understand why his is the segment included in so many literature books, because it was the most engaging story in the entirety of the Jungle Book, in my opinion. I enjoyed the adventures of the little mongoose even more than I did the tales of Mowgli the man-cub. Second-best out of these secondary tales was the story of Kotick, the White Seal.
He swam to the beat of his own drum, and I can always respect that. I found Toomai annoying, and I could care less about which animal thought they were the most important in a battle. The novelty of the app added to my enjoyment, and I will most definitely be reading more classics this way!

The Jungle Book is one of the fabulous books in my list. Reading the book brought me a nostalgic feeling about my childhood when I used to watch its tv series. Those days were truly Golden. They are just a memory now, but thanks to this book that I can go back in time, whenever I wish and relive those moments.
Nov 03, Sinem A. I had no idea this was an anthology. For some reason, I thought it was going to be only about Mowgli and his jungle friends, and had no idea this is where Riki Tiki Tavi came from. This was cute, but there were a couple of stories that just didn't seem to fit the "Jungle" theme.
The one about the seal in particular had no business being in the collection. Not that these weren't good sto I had no idea this was an anthology. Not that these weren't good stories; they just didn't mesh well with the others. Real life footage of me reading this book: This is the hour of pride and power, Talon and tush and claw. Oh, hear the call! Five of the stories follow Mowgli, who as a human toddler was separated from his parents after Shere Khan, t "Now Chil the Kite brings home the night That Mang the Bat sets free-- The herds are shut in byre and hut, For loosed till dawn are we.
Five of the stories follow Mowgli, who as a human toddler was separated from his parents after Shere Khan, the tiger, tried to attack the family in the jungles of India. Instead of ending up as a meal for Shere Khan, Mowgli is raised eventually by two wolves who see him as one of their cubs. But first, a meeting was called and the ethics of adopting a manchild were debated by the pack. The matter is settled when Baloo, the bear, agrees to accept Mowgli as a student to teach him the Law of the Jungle; and Bagheera, the black panther, agrees to take the pack to a newly killed bull in exchange for Mowgli's acceptance into the pack.
The wolf pack take the deal, but Shere Khan becomes Mowgli's mortal enemy. Mowgli has a number of adventures which are not all entirely pleasant, but I have this strong feeling it was on the whole fun to be a feral child! Other talking animal stories are included which showcase a variety of wild and domesticated animals who find Mankind and Nature directs them towards certain choices and troubles. Their personalities and inclinations direct their fates somewhat, but, gentle reader, I found them all to be wonderful creatures.
However, I admit to favoring Rikki Tikki Tavi, the mongoose, most of all! Mature children will adore this book, especially if they are able to get an edition with illustrations, but if you are familiar with the Disney movie version only, I must emphasize the unabridged book version has animal deaths, by hunting. Lost in the jungles of 19th-century India the book was first published in as a toddler, little Mowgli is rescued from the vicious tiger Shere Khan by an adoptive family of wolves, who raise him as part of their pack.

The author's various species of jungle animals exhibit many traits and behaviors characteristic of real ones Kipling was born and raised in India, and his setting is depicted with a deftness born of first-hand observation ; but he also endows them with a culture and languages, and a concept of Jungle Law, which allows him to use many of them as models of unspoiled "masculine" virtues, and to compare their world with civilized human society to the disadvantage of the latter.
His anthropomorphic treatment of animals, and his use of it for subtle social commentary, could be compared to Richard Adams' similar technique in Watership Down. Though the book was written for children and is traditionally marketed for them, I think modern children would be put off by the old-fashioned diction Mowgli and the animals talk in a style which was actually archaic even in the 19th century , and probably wouldn't appreciate the setting and messages as much as an adult would.
An adult who could accept the improbable premise on its own terms, though, could find much to enjoy here. I recall that I enjoyed it as a child --but my reading tastes were somewhat precocious and atypical. View all 3 comments. En realidad "El libro de la Selva" es un conjunto de relatos cortos recopilados en un tomo, donde los protagonistas son los animales. This classic story by Rudyard Kipling, telling of the adventures of Mowgli who is raised by wolves in the jungles of India, gets the Ingpen treatment.
That is, the illustrations are by Australian artist Robert Ingpen , who brings the animals to life in the best edition I have seen of Kipling's tales for children. His pen could write with a silver tongue. The sounds and denizens of the jungle come alive with his words. Now add th This classic story by Rudyard Kipling, telling of the adventures of Mowgli who is raised by wolves in the jungles of India, gets the Ingpen treatment. Here we sit in branchy row, Thinking of beautiful things we know; Dreaming of deeds that we mean to do, All complete, in a minute or two - Something noble and grand and good, Won by merely wishing we could.
And Kaa the Python! A snake of 30 feet length who could knock down a large-sized man.
Valid bid!
Ingpen does him justice this isn't Disney. This is a magnificent book. Full parchment paper, heavy dust jacket, illustrations galore, green satin bookmark. Aug 31, Donna rated it liked it Shelves: This is a classic by Rudyard Kipling. It's a collection of short stories for children with lots of animals and humans, and how they did and did not get along. Even though there was a fair amount of death in these stories, it was kind of glossy as most children's books are. The Disney version of Mowgli's story is definitely cleaned up a bit.
I never read this one to my kids when they were little. Even though I liked this, I don't regret not having read this one to them. Apr 25, Olga Godim rated it it was amazing Shelves: Last time I read The Jungle Book was years ago, to my son, when he was a preschooler. It might be that I only read him selective stories, because my memory of the stories was sketchy.
Mowgli — aye, all of them, even the ones included in the other Jungle book. Rikki-Tikki-Tavi — yes, of course. The entire book is simplistic on the surfac Last time I read The Jungle Book was years ago, to my son, when he was a preschooler. The entire book is simplistic on the surface: Anthropomorphism is not a new literary device. It was first employed by Aesop, but Kipling wields it with skills unsurpassed by any writer who came after him. His stories are philosophical and many-layered — a layer for any age or point of view.
Many stories, despite their artless beauty, are focused on a conflict between a person and a society. He belongs to two tribes — the jungle and the humans — but is fully accepted by neither. The white seal Kotick in his eponymous, Russian-flavored tale searches for a better, safer home for his people, but even when he finds it, he has to fight his conservative-thinking kin, to force them to change.
He is a loner and a leader. The children see him as a noble hero, but I must ask: Is there a difference? Was it a coincidence that the story is infused with Russian influence? In my opinion, this story is the most profound in the collection.

The elephant story is a story of exploitation. Nobody feels even a tad sorry, and everyone feels entitled. Although the esthetics and the metaphors are fantastic, the morals are…questionable. It lists all the ways an animal could fight for the British army — with pride!
It spoiled the taste of the entire book for me. Or maybe it does, which makes me even sadder. The only undisputed hero in the book was Rikki, the mongoose. His goal is to keep his adapted family safe, and he risks his life to achieve that goal. His story is light-hearted, very optimistic, and his bravery is as simple as his goal. His mental process caused me to smile. It is the hardest thing in the world to frighten a mongoose, because he is eaten up from nose to tail with curiosity. The political views of the author are on display in this book, perhaps unintentionally, and while I disagree with them, I have to admit that all the stories were written by a master of the craft.
I happened to read this book right after some mediocre indie novel, and the comparison — oh, boy! Like a pebble and a diamond. It flowed and washed away the sticky residue left by bad writing. He was trained and worked as a journalist, and it shows. Not an extraneous word in the entire book. The writer is sensitivity to human follies.

We are the most wonderful people in all the Jungle! Or maybe his honesty overrode his political convictions. It happens with great writers. A mandatory read for everyone. Kipling pours fuel on childhood fantasies with his tales of Mowgli, lost in the jungles of India as a child and adopted into a family of wolves. Mowgli is brought up on a diet of Jungle Law, loyalty, and fresh meat from the kill. Then, too, Mowgli was taught the Stranger's Hunting Call, which must be repeated aloud till it is answere Kipling pours fuel on childhood fantasies with his tales of Mowgli, lost in the jungles of India as a child and adopted into a family of wolves.
Then, too, Mowgli was taught the Stranger's Hunting Call, which must be repeated aloud till it is answered, whenever one of the Jungle-People hunts outside his own grounds. More importantly, Mowgli learns the value of 'good manners' early on, learns that 'all play and no work' leads to unexpected troubles, learns that thoughtless actions can have devasting consequences. By showing Mowgli in an often dangerous 'all animal' world, we see reflections of modern human problems presented in a more subtle light. Kipling leads children down the jungle path into adventures beyond their day to day imagining and along the way, he weaves subtle points in and out of the stories, he shows the value of 'doing for yourself', of 'learning who to trust'.
Included are other jungle stories not directly connected to the character of Mowgli.
Product details
Baloo is a lovable bear who teaches Mowgli the ways of the jungle and how to respect it. Bagheera is a feared and wise black panther who befriends Mowgli in all situations. In "Kaa's Hunting", Mowgli is kidnapped by the Bandar-log monkeys. Monkeys are not highly respected in the jungle community because they have no leader. Baloo and Bagheera seek the help of Kaa the Python to rescue Mowgli. The stories "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi" and "The White Seal" have nothing to do with Mowgli and his adventures, but they offer valuable lessons. The lesson in "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi" is to trust yourself and the loyalty in friends.
In "Toomai of the Elephants", a young boy falls asleep on his elephant. The elephants then march off to a hill far away. Set up a giveaway. There's a problem loading this menu right now.
