Rudyard Kipling

The Jungle Book

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Jungle Book is a collection of timeless, fun stories worthy of their fame. The writing of Kipling flows in a whimsical and poetic manner. His writing appreciated the sound of language as much as its ability to convey a message. It births the question, if we are the rulers of this world, are we even worthy of the powers and title. If the world would truly be better, and a lot less gruesome and cruel to the other animals inhabiting it. Some of the stories read very much like a modern YA book of parables with animals who seem much more human than humans.

Autorenporträt

Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was a British author and poet who was born in Bombay, British India. As seen by his evocative depictions of colonial life, Kipling's early years in India had a profound influence on his later works. A large portion of his early years were spent apart from his parents; this is portrayed in his narrative "The Jungle Book." With a wide variety of works, including novels, poetry, and short tales, Kipling's creative career took off. His most famous works are "Kim," a book set in British India, and "The Jungle Book," an anthology of tales that went on to become a classic in children's literature. Kipling was the youngest recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature when it was granted in 1907. Themes of imperialism, patriotism, and the intricacies of cross-cultural relationships were frequently covered in his writings. Because of his imperialist beliefs, Kipling's legacy has come under fire even though he was quite popular during his lifetime. However, his place in literary history has been cemented by his ability to fascinate readers with his storytelling prowess and his effect on adventure literature.
