Rudyard Kipling | 400 pages | 01 Jan 1998 | Wordsworth Editions Ltd | 9781853261190 | English | Herts, United Kingdom The Second Jungle Book by

Most of the characters are animals such as the tiger and the bear, though a principal character is the boy or "man-cub" Mowgliwho is raised in the jungle by wolves. The stories are set in a forest in India ; one place mentioned repeatedly is "Seonee" Seoniin the central The Jungle Book & The Second Jungle Book of Madhya Pradesh. A major theme in the book is abandonment followed by fostering, as in the life of , 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 behaviourstill 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 ", but the stories also illustrate the freedom to move The Jungle Book & The Second Jungle Book 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. The Jungle Book has remained popular, partly through its many adaptations for film and other media. Critics such as Swati Singh have noted that even critics wary of Kipling for his supposed imperialism have admired the power of his storytelling. The stories were first published in magazines in — The original publications contain illustrations, some by the author's father, John Lockwood Kipling. Rudyard Kipling was born in India and spent the first six years of his childhood there. After about ten years in England, he went back to India and worked there for about six and a half years. These stories were written when Kipling lived in Naulakhathe home he built in DummerstonVermontin the United States. The tales in the book as well as those in The The Jungle Book & The Second Jungle Book Jungle Bookwhich followed in and includes five further stories about Mowgli are fablesusing animals in an anthropomorphic manner to teach moral lessons. The verses of "The Law of the Jungle", for example, lay down rules for the safety of individuals, families, and communities. Kipling put in them nearly everything he knew or "heard or dreamed about the Indian jungle". The stories in The Jungle Book were inspired in part by the ancient Indian fable texts such as the Panchatantra and the Jataka tales. The idea of beast-tales seems to me new in that it is a most ancient and long forgotten idea. The really fascinating tales are those that the Bodhisat tells of his previous incarnations ending always with the beautiful moral. Most of the native hunters in India today think pretty much along the lines of an animal's brain and I have "cribbed" freely from their tales. In a letter written and signed by Kipling in or aroundstates Alison Flood in The GuardianKipling confesses to borrowing ideas and stories in the Jungle Book : "I am afraid that all that code in its outlines has been manufactured to meet 'the necessities of the case': though a little of it is bodily taken from Southern Esquimaux rules for the division of spoils," Kipling wrote in the letter. Kipling lived in India as a child, and most of the stories [a] are evidently set there, though it is not entirely clear where. The Kipling Society notes that "Seonee" Seoniin the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh is mentioned several times; that the "cold lairs" must be in the jungled hills of Chittorgarh ; and that the first Mowgli story, "In the Rukh", is set in a forest reserve somewhere in northern India, south of Simla. This is drier than a monsoon climate and does not support tropical rainforest. The book is arranged with a story in each chapter. Each story is followed by a poem that serves as an epigram. The early editions were illustrated with drawings in the text by John Lockwood Kipling Rudyard's fatherand the American artists W. Drake and Paul Frenzeny. The book has appeared in over print editions, [20] and over audiobooks. Critics such as Harry Ricketts have observed that Kipling returns repeatedly to the theme of the abandoned and fostered child, recalling his own childhood feelings of abandonment. In his view, the enemy, The Jungle Book & The Second Jungle Book Khan, represents the "malevolent would-be foster-parent" who Mowgli in the end outwits and destroys, just as Kipling as a boy had to face Mrs Holloway in place of his parents. Ricketts writes that in "Mowgli's Brothers", the hero loses his human parents at the outset, and his wolf fosterers at the conclusion; and Mowgli is again rejected at the end of "Tiger! In Ricketts's view, the power that Mowgli has over all these characters who compete for his affection is part of the book's appeal to children. The novelist Marghanita Laski argued that the purpose of the stories was not to teach about animals but to create human archetypes through the animal characters, with lessons of respect for authority. She noted that Kipling was a friend of the founder of the Scout MovementRobert Baden-Powellwho based the junior scout "Wolf Cubs" on the stories, and that Kipling admired the movement. Part of this, Ricketts supposed, was Mrs Holloway's evangelicalism, suitably transformed. The rules required obedience and "knowing your place", but also provided social relationships and "freedom to move between different worlds". The novelist and critic Angus Wilson noted that Kipling's law of the jungle was "far from Darwinian ", since no attacks were allowed at the The Jungle Book & The Second Jungle Book, even in drought. In Wilson's view, the popularity of the Mowgli stories is thus not literary but moral : the animals can follow the law easily, but Mowgli has human joys and sorrows, and the burden of making decisions. The academic Jan Montefiore commented on the book's balance of law and freedom that "You don't need to invoke Jacqueline Rose on the adult's dream of the child's innocence or Perry Nodelman's theory of children's literature colonising its readers' minds with a double fantasy of the child as both noble savage and embryo good citizen, to see that the Jungle Books. Sayan Mukherjee, writing for the Book Review Circle, calls The Jungle The Jungle Book & The Second Jungle Book "One of the most enjoyable books of my childhood and even in adulthood, highly informative as to the outlook of the British on their 'native population'. The academic Jopi Nyman argued The Jungle Book & The Second Jungle Book that the book formed part of the construction of " colonial English national identity" [31] within Kipling's " imperial project ". Swati Singh, in his Secret History of the Jungle Booknotes that the tone is like that of Indian folklore, fable-like, and that critics have speculated that the Kipling may have heard similar stories from his Hindu The Jungle Book & The Second Jungle Book and his Portuguese ayah nanny during his childhood in India. Singh observes, too, that Kipling wove "magic and fantasy" into the stories for his daughter Josephine, and that even critics reading Kipling for signs of imperialism could not help admiring the power of his storytelling. The Jungle Book came to be used as a motivational book by the Cub Scoutsa junior element of the Scouting movement. This use of the book's universe was approved by Kipling at the request of Robert Baden-Powellfounder of the Scouting movement, who had originally asked for the author's permission for the use of the Memory Game from Kim in his scheme to develop the morale and fitness of working-class youths in cities. The Jungle Book & The Second Jungle Bookthe head wolf in The Jungle Bookhas become a senior figure in the movement; the name is traditionally adopted by the leader of each Cub Scout pack. The Jungle Book has The Jungle Book & The Second Jungle Book adapted many times in a wide variety of media. In literature, Robert Heinlein wrote the Hugo Award-winning science fiction novel, Stranger in a Strange Landwhen his wife, Virginia The Jungle Book & The Second Jungle Book, suggested a new version of The Jungle Bookbut with a child raised by Martians instead of wolves. It follows a baby boy who is found and brought up by the dead in a cemetery. It has many scenes that can be traced to Kipling, but with Gaiman's dark twist. It consists of quotations from the book, set as choral pieces and solos for soprano, tenor or baritone. The music was by John Mayer. The book's text has been adapted for younger readers with comic book adaptations such as DC Comics Elseworlds ' story, " Superman: The Feral Man of Steel ", in which an infant Superman is raised by wolves, while , , and Shere Khan make appearances. Stuart Paterson wrote a stage adaptation infirst produced by the Birmingham Old Rep in and published in by Nick Hern Books. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

I have read Kipling within the last few years and cite the Jungle Books as an example of children's books that are of absorbing interest to adults, as well. I do not find that true of, say, the Harry Potter series. Kipling is a surpassing genius; he did not pander to the reader or to children. He tells a heartfelt naturally symbolic tale that is pure and powerful. As to this movie: it is a hodge-podge of Kipling's plots. But, man, is it beautiful and that little kid is The Jungle Book & The Second Jungle Book good and believable as Mowgli. Without being true to any one of the books, it seems to me perfectly true to the spirit of Kipling. The cinematography and the beautiful animals are, in themselves, worth the price of admission.
