The Jungle Book. E-book. Formato EPUB Rudyard Kipling - Rea Multimedia, 2023 -
The Jungle Book (1894) is a collection of stories by the English author Rudyard Kipling. Most of the characters are animals such as Shere Khan the tiger and Baloo the bear, though a principal character is the boy or "man-cub" Mowgli, who is raised in the jungle by wolves. The stories are set in a forest in India; one place mentioned repeatedly is "Seeonee" (Seoni), in the central state of Madhya Pradesh.A major theme in the book is abandonment followed by fostering, as in the life of Mowgli, echoing Kipling's own childhood. The theme is echoed in the triumph of protagonists including Rikki-Tikki-Tavi and The White Seal over their enemies, as well as Mowgli's. Another important theme is of law and freedom; the stories are not about animal behaviour, still less about the Darwinian struggle for survival, but about human archetypes in animal form. They teach respect for authority, obedience, and knowing one's place in society with "the law of the jungle", but the stories also illustrate the freedom to move between different worlds, such as when Mowgli moves between the jungle and the village. Critics have also noted the essential wildness and lawless energies in the stories, reflecting the irresponsible side of human nature.
La più bella storia del mondo. E-book. Formato EPUB Rudyard Kipling - Rea Multimedia, 2010 -
Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936), premio Nobel per la Letteratura nel 1907, è ricordato per i suoi romanzi più popolari e famosi come Kim e Il Libro della Giungla. Questo volume raccoglie alcuni fra gli ultimi racconti dello scrittore, poco conosciuti e trascurati, ma in realtà molto importantisoprattutto per l’influenza avuta in autori successivi come per esempio Borges. L’uomo e la sua esistenza, riappaiono sotto una nuova forma di scrittura, dove la storia non procede a volte in maniera lineare ma in modo ellittico, dove l’odio e la fraternità religiosa degli uomini si intrecciano fra loro, in storie a cui fa sempre da sfondo la società indiana, dove lo scrittore era nato, ed il suo intrecciarsi con la civiltà ed i valori occidentali.
