Kipling avait auparavant v cu pendant plus de six ans en Inde, d'o est puis e l'inspiration de la plupart de ses nouvelles.

La traduction fran aise la plus connue est celle de Robert d'Humi res et Louis Fabulet (1899). Le Livre de la Jungle est un recueil de nouvelles dont chacune raconte une histoire qui se passe dans la Jungle, for t de l'Inde o vivent des animaux sauvages typiques du pays, ainsi que des hommes.

Les histoires ne se d roulent pas toutes dans la jungle indienne (ainsi, l'histoire des phoques se d roule en Alaska et mentionne les lois de la plage) et ne font pas toutes intervenir Mowgli. la fin de chaque nouvelle, un court chant en vers, en rapport avec cette derni re, offre un pendant po tique.

Literature's most famous adventure story, this stirring tale of two happy-go-lucky British ne're-do-wells trying to carve out their own kingdom in the remote mountains of Afghanistan has also proved over time to be a work of penetrating and lasting political insight-amidst its raucous humor and swashbuckling bravado is a devastatingly astute dissection of imperialism and its heroic pretensions. Written when he was only 22 years old, the tale also features some of Rudyard Kipling's most crystalline prose, and one of the most beautifully rendered, spectacularly exotic settings he ever used. Best of all, it features two of his most unforgettable characters, the ultra-vivid Cockneys Peachy Carnahan and Daniel Dravot, who impart to the story its ultimate, astonishing twist: it is both a tragedy and a triumph.

This book by Kipling consists of five stories: the title story, My Own True Ghost Story The Strange Ride Of Morrowbie Jukes The Man Who Would Be King "The Finest Story In The World"

These tales of the man-cub, Mowgli, and fables of the clever creatures of the wild, like the mongoose Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, still brim with the adventure, camaraderie, and beloved characters that have endeared them to readers for more than 125 years. Rudyard Kipling’s elegantly written short tales alternate with his memorable verse as he brings the wild world of the Indian jungle to vivid life. The interaction of the quirky animal characters is amusing and enlightening as Kaa the python, Bagheera the panther and the others evince all-too-human virtues and vices. Mowgli’s adventures provide thrills and amusement, but he is always learning, gaining knowledge of the world and the laws that govern it. The emotional theme of the loss of family and the importance of the support of loved ones surfaces repeatedly and provides some of the book’s most memorable and affirming moments. Readers will root for Mowgli as he confronts the villainous tiger Shere Khan, cheer Kaa the python and Baloo the bear as they mount a daring rescue of their man-cub friend, but these tales have a greater resonance than might be initially apparent. These are stories that stay with the reader, which might help explain how this book, which first appeared in 1894, has been adapted so often and so recently to film, television, music, comics, manga, cartoons and more. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Jungle Book is both modern and readable.

A short story originally published as part of The Jungle Book. When a family moves to India and rescues a half-drowned mongoose called Rikki-tikki-tavi, they grow very fond of the cheeky fellow and soon he runs in and out of the house as much as he pleases. The happy mongoose eats at the table with the mother and father, and sleeps in the nursery with their little boy, Teddy. But the family do not realise that evil lives in the bushes by their home – a pair of king cobras, who are plotting to kill the whole family so they can rule the garden! Only Rikki-tikki-tavi can save the family from certain death, but is he brave and strong enough to fight both of them alone? Rikki-tikki-tavi was originally published as part of The Jungle Book in 1894. In this edition, Kipling's story is complete and unabridged.
