  • "For the past one hundred years, Rudyard Kipling's classic tales of Mowgli, the lost boy raised by wolves in the jungles of India, have captivated children and adults alike. Mowgli's days are filled with danger, wonder, and excitement. He learns the ways of the jungle from the wise old bear, Baloo, and the great black panther, Bagheera. He is befriended by the faithful wolf, Gray Brother, and is carried off by the crafty Monkey-People -- only to be rescued by the mighty python, Kaa. And through it all, Mowgli knows that he must someday face his sworn enemy: the ferocious man-hating tiger, Shere Khan."

Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influences—biographical, historical, and literary—to enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works. <P style=MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt class=MsoNormal>Action, adventure, and excitement spill from the pages of Rudyard Kipling's best-loved collections of stories, The Jungle Books. Set in magical, mysterious India, these tales of people and animals living together--though not always harmoniously--in the world of nature have appealed equally to children and adults since their first appearance more than a century ago. Most focus on Mowgli, a boy raised by wolves. As Baloo the sleepy brown bear, Bagheera the cunning black panther, Kaa the python, and his other animal friends teach their beloved “man-cub the ways of the jungle, Mowgli gains the strength and wisdom he needs for his frightful fight with Shere Khan, the tiger who robbed him of his human family. But there are also the tales of Rikki-tikki-tavi the mongoose and his “great war against the vicious cobras Nag and Nagaina; of Toomai, who watches the elephants dance; and of Kotick the white seal, who swims in the Bering Sea. This edition includes both the original Jungle Book (1894) and The Second Jungle Book (1895), written in response to the original's enormous success. <P style=MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt>Lisa Makman is visiting Assistant Professor of English at the University of Michigan.

  • "Mowgli lernt die Gesetze des Dschungels kennen: Das Dschungelbuch ist ein Klassiker der Jugendliteratur. Es war 1894 erstmals erschienen, damals übrigens nicht ausschliesslich für die Jugend. Das Thema des Wolfsjungen bewegte die Gemüter. Mit der Figur Mowglis, von Wölfen aufgezogen und vom Bär Baloo in die Gesetze des Dschungels eingeführt, kann der Autor den Kosmos der Natur aus menschlicher Perspektive darstellen. Tiere werden personifiziert und es herrscht eine Gesellschaft strenger Hierarchie mit striktem Ehrenkodex und artspezifischen Antipathien. Ein guter Teil der Dschungel-Gesetze wird erst deutlich, indem sie ausser Kraft gesetzt werden. Das Buch, das eigentlich von der menschlichen Gesellschaft erzählt, ist Kultbuch der Wölfli geworden, die zur Pfadfinder-Bewegung gehören. Ab 10 Jahren, gut, Ruedi W. Schweizer."

  • "Im Dschungel gross geworden: Als eines der meist gelesenen Klassiker fasziniert die Geschichte des Menschenjungen Mowgli, der im Urwald aufwächst, von Wölfen grossgezogen, von Tieren wie dem Panther Bagheera und dem Bären Baloo begleitet, immer wieder neu. So lebt Mowgli auf sehr ursprüngliche Weise mit der Weisheit der Natur, kämpft um existentielle Urbedürfnisse, um zu überleben. Es geht um Zugehörigkeit als Andersartiger unter Tieren, aber auch um Überlebenskampf, wo Intelligenz und Geschicklichkeit gefragt sind. Die Tiere, in soziale und hierarchische Strukturen eingebunden haben ihre eigene Sicht auf die Kreatur Mensch, was auch unseren Blick als Lesende verändern kann. Der vorliegende Band ist gross geschrieben mit ganzseitigen, eindrücklichen, feinen Farbzeichnungen, die den afrikanischen Busch auch visuell lebendig werden lassen. Ab 7 Jahren, ausgezeichnet, Denise Racine."

  • "Kippling hat mit diesem Buch seine Vorstellung von Indien eingefangen und mit ihnen das Dschungelgesetz als Modell menschlichen Gemeinwesens dargestellt. Vergeblich jagt Schir Khan, der Tiger, ein Menschenjunges. Die Wölfe nehmen es auf und nennen es Mowgli. Mowgli lernt die Sprache der Tiere und bezwingt später bei den Menschen seinen Feind Schir Khan. Das Wolfskind, der Panther Bagheera, die Riesenschlange Kaa und Baloo, der Bär, leben als "klassische", oftmals verfilmte Jugendliteraturfiguren weiter. (Quelle: Verzeichnis ZKL)."
  • "Eine der schönsten Geschichten der Welt mit den schönsten Illustrationen aller Zeiten Seit über 100 Jahren lassen die Geschichten von Mowgli und seinen Freunden - dem Panther Bagheera und Balloo, dem Bär - Kinder und Erwachsene in die fremde Welt des Dschungels eintauchen. Geschildert wird ein Leben in der Natur, das nur vermeintlcih frei und unbeschwert ist. Denn mit bitterer Feindschaft verfolgt der Tiger Shir Khan das verhasste Menschenkind, bis es schliesslich zum entscheidenden Kampf kommt. Die prachtvollen Illustrationen von Eric Kincaid machen aus diesem Band zugleich ein wunderbares Bilderbuch, Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) wurde in Bombay geboren, doch in England erzogen. Nach Indien zurückgekehrt, unternahm er ausgedehnte Reisen, arbeitete als Journalist und Autor. Die Situation der Engländer in Indien beschrieb er zunächst ironisch gebrochen, verliess dann mit vierundzwanzig Jahren das Land und wurde zum umstrittenen Verfechter des britischen Imperialismus. Kipling erhielt 1907 den Nobelpreis für Literatur."
  • "Bagheera, the panther, tries to convince Mowgli that he must leave the jungle for his own good, but Mowgli feels angered and confused. Only when Mowgli meets another human being, a winsome little girl, does he discover that new experiences and new friends can be as wonderful as old ones."

Mowgli's adventures are juxtaposed with other animal stories set in the British Empire, ranging from the heroic battle of "Rikki-tikki-tavi" and the Himalayan pastoral "Purun Bhagat" to the drama of survival in "The White Seal". With The Jungle Books, Rudyard Kipling drew on ancient beast fables, Buddhist philosophy and memories of his Anglo-Indian upbringing to create a rich, symbolic portrait of man and nature, and an eternal classic of childhood that has had a lasting impact on our imaginations."--p.[4] of cover."@en

Sie enthalten aber auch zahlreiche weniger bekannte Geschichten und Episoden, die nicht minder spannend und lesenswert sind, z.B. - Toomai, der Liebling der Elefanten - Die weisse Robbe - Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, und viele weitere. Unser eBook enthält beide Dschungelbuch-Bände. Die 52 original Illustrationen stammen von W.H. Drake und Rudyard Kiplings Vater John Lockwood Kipling, erschienen 1895 in der amerikanischen Ausgabe "The Two Jungle Books", im Verlag Doubleday, Doran Company Inc."
  • "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'."@en

  • "Mogli, der Wolfsjunge: Die abenteuerliche Geschichte "Das Dschungelbuch", die 1894 von Rudyard Kipling geschrieben wurde, zählt auch heute noch zu den beliebtesten Klassikern. Sie erzählt vom kleinen Jungen Mogli, der bei einer Wolfsfamilie im Dschungel aufwächst, die Sprache der Tiere lernt und eines Tages nach vielen Abenteuern wieder zu den Menschen zurückkehrt. Fast für ganze Kindergenerationen sind die in der Geschichte agierenden Tiere wie Balu, der Bär, Baghira, der Panther, Kaa, die Schlange oder Schir Khan, der Tiger, ein Begriff. Für das vorliegende in der Coppenrath Kinderklassiker-Reihe erschienene Moglibuch hat Katrin Hoffmann die Geschichte nacherzählt und auch gekürzt, was immer ein wenig schade ist. Dennoch ein lesenswertes Buch, das sich in wunderschönes Samt gebunden präsentiert und viele farbenfrohe Bilder von Andrea Hebrock enthält, welche Moglis abenteuerliche Geschichte noch zusätzlich beleben. Ab 9 Jahren, ****, Beatrice Balint."
  • "Kipling's classic tells the story of Mowgli--a boy raised by a pack of wolves--as he learns lessons about the laws of the jungle and the needs of the heart. Through Mowgli's journey, readers meet the tiger Shere Khan, who stalks man and beast alike; the rock python Kaa, who dispenses wisdom; and the aging wolf Akela, who struggles as his leadership of the pack is challenged. Set in India, Kipling's tale is an allegory for Britain's imperialism, filled with high adventure and memorable characters.--From publisher description."@en
