réf. 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.

1948réf. 19585New York: Doubleday & Company 1948. Hardcover with Dust Jacket with Slipcase. Near Fine/Very Good. Illustrations by Watson Aldren. Bindings are tight and square. Text clean light even toning. Minimal shelf handling wear. Dust Jackets with price are in a new clear protective Mylar sleeve with a touch of corner and spine tip wear evenly toned. Previous owner's name on front free end page. Slipcase had moderate shelf handling. Watson Aldren Color Illustrations. The Jungle Book first published in 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. A major theme is abandonment followed by fostering as in the life of Mowgli echoing Kipling's own childhood. Another important theme is of law and freedom; the stories are not about animal behavior 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. wiki Doubleday & Company hardcover
