rif. 9788525433985LPM. new. Selvas plan�cies mares s�o alguns dos cen�rios dos sete contos que formam este volume. Mas n�o � �� toa que chama-se Livro da selva pois 'selvagem' � o adjetivo que d� o tom de todos os textos que retratam a vida livre e ind�mita de personagens que v�o de meninos criados por lobos a outros animais em oposi��o �� civiliza��o humana. Embora Rudyard Kipling 1865-1936 nunca tenha estado nas selvas indianas suas narrativas e descri��es s�o v�vidas e deliciosas e os confrontos e di�logos retratados fazem destas hist�rias aventuras perfeitas. Se por um lado a trajet�ria de Mogli o menino lobo que � a maior cria��o do autor tem um aspecto edificante pois ele cresce e se depara com o dilema de ter de abandonar a vida selvagem para se juntar �� civiliza��o dos homens inimigos dos animais por outro lado Kipling mostrou uma sensibilidade �� frente do seu tempo ao comparar a inf�ncia com a vida selvagem numa �poca em que a psicologia infantil ainda era incipiente. Hist�rias do Livro da selva foram in�meras vezes adaptadas para quadrinhos teatro e cinema mas a mais c�lebre de todas as vers�es foi Mogli o menino lobo dos est�dios Disney. O longa de 1967 �ltima produ��o a ser supervisionada pessoalmente por Walt Disney antes de sua morte foi lan�ado com imenso sucesso de p�blico e conquista espectadores at� hoje. Mas engana-se redondamente quem pensa que este � um 'livro para a juventude': nada poderia ser mais redutor. Se estamos diante de um livro de aventura para crian�as � para a crian�a que vive dentro de cada leitor. LPM unknown

rif. 9780141196657PENGUIN CLASSICS. new. The story of Mowgli the man-cub who is brought up by wolves in the jungles of Central India is one of the greatest literary myths ever created. As he embarks on a series of thrilling escapades Mowgli encounters such unforgettable creatures as the bear Baloo the graceful black panther Bagheera and Shere Khan the tiger with the blazing eyes. Other animal stories in The Jungle Books range from the dramatic battle between good and evil in 'Rikki-tikki-tavi' to the macabre comedy 'The Undertakers'. With The Jungle Books Rudyard Kipling drew on ancient beast fables Buddhist philosophy and memories of his Anglo-Indian childhood to create a rich symbolic portrait of man and nature and an eternal classic of childhood.

rif. 9788582850244PENGUIN. new. Personagem imortal da literatura o menino Mowgli foi achado na selva e criado por uma loba. Para viver na floresta ele precisava aprender mais do que caminhar sem fazer ru�do ou enxergar no escuro. Sua forma humana que de in�cio parecia uma desvantagem ajudou a transform�-lo em um caso �nico. Mowgli somou a sabedoria dos lobos e a intelig�ncia dos homens para viver uma inf�ncia repleta de aventuras e descobrimentos. Muitos especialistas consideram Os livros da selva uma contraposi��o do universo infantil �� vida adulta do trabalho. Ao longo de diversos contos a sofistica��o narrativa de Kipling e de seus personagens � capaz de emocionar leitores de todas as idades. PENGUIN unknown

It is now a hundred years since the first publication of 'The Jungle Book' by Macmillan and Co.This magical mixture of adventurefable and allegory is perhaps the best-known collection of animal stories ever written. But they are more than simple tales.The jungle in which Mowgli lives is populated with creatures in whom animal and human characteristics are brilliantly contrived.In this very real often dangerousworld Mowgli grows uplearning the Law of the jungle from his animal guardians - Akela the wolfBaloo the fatherly bearBagheera the wise panther and Kaa the tough clever python.Even their enemythe brutalbullying tiger Shere Khanhas something to teach him. In 'The Jungle Book'Kipling skilfully tempers morality with excitementas in the story of the never-say-die mongoose Rikki-Tikki-Tavi and his life-and-death struggle with the cobra; and the mystery of animal society is hauntingly conveyed in the tale of Toomaithe boy who saw the elephant dance. The superb water-colours of Maurice and Edward Detmold which Macmillan commissioned in 1901 and published as a portfolio of prints in 1903are used to illustrate this new edn. The Detmold twinsworked as Maurice and Julius Detmold 1883-1908 and 1883-1957.Born in Putney 21st November 1883being christened Charles Frederick and Edward Barton Detmold.The two middle names were soon dropped and replaced by 'Maurice' and 'Julius' respectively. The younger twinEdward took his first names not from his fatherbut from the enigmatic Dr Edward Barton Shuldham described as occupier of the house in Upper Richmond Road where the twins were born and were privately educated.They studied animal life in the Zoological Gardens and worked in close associationpaintingdrawing and etching bird and animal subjects. They collaborated on several books before Charles Maurice ended his life by inhaling chloroform in 1908.The brothers were in April 1908about to leave for a holiday in Sussex with Dr Shuldhamwho had asked Maurice to put down the household cats with chloroform.Not an unusual practice at that time: as the cats would be replaced on the return from the holiday. Edward Julius went on to become one of the most interesting of the gift book illustratorsspecialising in animals and plants which were drawn with exactitude and sympathy and often placed in fantastic architectural or landscape settings. In its delicacy of outline and subtle colour harmonieshis work shows the influence of of oriental miniature painting.In the early 1920's he retired to Montgomeryshirewith his widowed sistercontinuing to drawpainthold exhibitions of etchings and drypointsbut it wasn't long before he retired completely from public lifeand eventually committed suicide himselfon 1st July 1957.Both brothers were elected ARE 1905but resigned a few months later.
