Forlagsbeskrivelse af The Jungle Books af Rudyard Kipling
The Jungle Books can be regarded as classic stories told by an adult to children. But they also constitute a complex literary work of art in which the whole of Kipling''s philosophy of life is expressed in miniature. They are best known for the `Mowgli'' stories; the tale of a baby abandoned and brought up by wolves, educated in the ways and secrets of the jungle by Kaa the python, Baloo the bear, and Bagheera the black panther. The stories, a mixture of fantasy, myth, and magic, are underpinned by Kipling''s abiding preoccupation with the theme of self-discovery, and the nature of the `Law''.
