Experience timeless classics like never before in this Grand Type Collector's Edition With clear, easy-to-read formatting, this edition is designed for readers who prefer or require larger text without sacrificing the excitement of the original.

Deep in the wild heart of the Indian jungle, a human child is discovered by wolves and raised as one of their own. Mowgli, the "man-cub," grows up learning the ways of the forest, guided by the wisdom of Bagheera the panther and the carefree lessons of Baloo the bear. From playful adventures to harrowing dangers, he must face the wrath of Shere Khan, the fearsome tiger determined to destroy him. Each challenge becomes a test of courage and belonging, as Mowgli learns to navigate both the beauty and peril of the world around him. First published in 1894, The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling became an instant classic, blending folklore, adventure, and allegory. Beyond its thrilling stories, the work reflects themes of identity, loyalty, and survival, while also bearing the cultural imprint of British colonial India. Its unforgettable characters-Mowgli, Baloo, Bagheera, and Shere Khan-have become icons in literature and beyond, inspiring countless adaptations in film, art, and popular culture. Enduring across generations, the book continues to enchant readers while sparking reflection on humanity's place within the natural world.
Autorenporträt
Rudyard Kipling was born in 1865 in British India, where his early experiences shaped much of his later writing. Growing up in Bombay, he was influenced by the rich cultural backdrop of colonial India, which provided a vibrant foundation for his stories. After being sent to England for schooling, Kipling returned to India as a young adult, beginning his career in journalism and publishing his early works.In 1907, Kipling became the first English-language writer to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. His stories, such as The Jungle Book and Kim, established him as one of the most significant literary figures of his time. Kipling's exploration of British imperialism, coupled with his narrative brilliance, stirred both admiration and controversy. Despite debates over his political views, Kipling's legacy endures through his masterful storytelling and his role as a chronicler of the British Empire's complexities.Later in life, Kipling faced personal losses, including the death of his son in World War I. He continued writing, but the grief profoundly impacted his outlook. Kipling passed away in 1936, leaving behind a body of work that remains influential, and his ashes were interred at Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey.
