Kurzbeschreibung
Eine Sammlung von Geschichten um die Figur Mowgli, den Jungen, der im indischen Dschungel unter Tieren aufwächst.
-- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe:
Taschenbuch

Synopsis
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 Bagheera, the graceful black panther, and Shere Khan, the tiger with the blazing eyes. Other animal stories range from the simple heroism found in 'Rikki-tikki-tavi' to the macabre comedy 'The Undertakers'. A rich and complex fable of human life, Kipling's enduring classic dazzles the imagination with its astonishing descriptive powers and lively sense of adventure.

Ich habe mir das Buch gekauft, weil ich schon immer ein Fan von Englischen Originalen war und in meiner Kindheit gerne die Abenteuer von Mowgli miterlebt habe. Zunächst muss jedoch eines klar gestellt werden: Die Mowgli-Geschichten machen nur einen kleinen Teil des Dschungelbuchs aus. Dennoch bin ich von diesem Werk mehr als begeistert! eine sehr schöne, farbenfrohe Sprache, die personifikationen der Tiere und die fabelhaften (im wörtlichsten sinne Fabel-haften) Geschichten machen dieses Werk meines erachtens nach zu einem der besten Klassiker, die es in der Englischen Literatur gibt.

Zunächst einmal zum äußeren: teilweise ist bei dieser Ausgabe der Druck nicht ganz sauber, so dass es manchmal schwerfällt, ein ! von einem l zu unterscheiden... nichts also für Menschen mit schlechten Augen. Zum Inhalt: die Geschichten spielen größtenteils in Indien, wo Kipling auch selbst lange Zeit gelebt hat. Man bekommt einen recht guten Eindruck des Kolonialindien; dabei wäre vielleicht anzumerken, daß Kipling eher aus der Perspektive des Einheimischen als der des Briten schreibt. Und weil jeder bei Dschungelbuch an Mowgli denkt, sollte ich jetzt wohl auch etwas dazu sagen: mich hat überrascht, daß im ersten Buch gerade einmal 3 Geschichten von Mowgli handeln, im zweiten kehrt sich das Verhältnis um. Und wenn man nun denkt, daß man nach dem gleichnamigen Zeichentrickfilm das Buch gut seinen Kindern zum lesen geben kann, dann sollte man sich die Geschichten vielleicht vorher nochmal selbst durchlesen. In vielen davon wird sehr viel Gewalt beschrieben (das kann man nun Natur nennen oder nicht... immerhin sind die Tiere personifiziert!) und auch als ganz natürlich akzeptiert. Vielleicht spielt hier eine späte Begeisterung für den Landsmann Darwin mit? Auch sonst stellt sich mir die Frage, für wen das Buch geschrieben ist: sprachlich ist es für Kinder und Jugendliche weitaus zu schwer, inhaltlich für Erwachsene zu "fadenscheinig", man kann fast immer schon im vornherein sagen, was geschehen wird. Trotzdem sind etliche sehr schöne Geschichten dabei, in meinen Augen ein echtes Juwel: "The King's Ankus", in der das Streben zu Geld und Gold kritisiert wird.

What magic lies between the covers of this book!

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading these wonderful stories again, and it was a bonus having all of Rudyard Kipling's stories together in one volume. This book has all the Mowgli stories, plus other favourites like "Riki-Tiki-Tav", "Toomai of the Elephants", and many more. Reading these again affirmed my belief of Kipling's great skill as a storyteller. These stories had appeal for me when I was younger, but they have a different appeal for me now. Kipling's descriptions and characterizations are wonderful, and they put the reader right there in the jungle with Mowgli and Bagheera, and all Mowgli's other friends. We who love to read should not forget to read these wonderful stories once in awhile. Modern short story authors still have to go some to even begin to match these classics by a great author.

The Jungle Book is a story about a young boy whose life is paid for with a bull brought down by Bagera, a black panther. Mowgali lived his life in the pack until a tiger (Sher Khan) convinced the pack to hate Mowgali because he is a man cub and is a potential threat to them in the future. So Mowgali makes his life among men in the village and then is threatened once again by Sher Khan and after Mowali destroyed Sher Khan he took the pelt to the pack and told them off. I really liked this book but it used old English that was hard to get the hang of at first.
I liked this book because it had a lot of action. When Mowgali was taken to the ruins he was throne into a pit with poisonous snakes by the mutinous monkeys. In the story "Toomai of the Elephants," the elephants stomp down the area around them in a triumphant dance. In the part of the Jungle Book Mowgali had to kill Sher Khan, and he had to herd the bulls to go and attack Sher Khan.
This book was a little difficult to read. It was difficult because it was all phrased in old English like art, hath, thou, ect., . There were also a few different stories and they were hard to follow at times. There were a lot of characters that were in each of the stories and there were a lot of characters that had hard to pronounce.
In this book had a lot of animals and the humans weren't completely portrayed as protagonists. In the "White Seal" the humans killed the seals for their coats and all the seals that were always in constant danger. In "The Jungle Book" there are hunters who are just going to kill Sher Khan just for game and not for a reason. In "Toomai of the Elephants" the protagonist wasn't completely clear but I really liked how little Toomai observed the elephants and didn't pose harm to the Elephants.
This was a thrilling collection of stories with action even though it was a little hard to read. I liked this book because it had a lot of action, a lot of animal characters, but it was a little tough to read. In one of the stories Sher Khan wants to kill Mowgali. I recommend this book for people in sixth grade or higher because of the vocabulary and other parts of the book.

When I was a child, I borrowed The Jungle Books umpteen times from our local library. Since I became an adult, I have searched for the exact same edition of this classic book, without any results...until now!
Not only did I find the exact edition of The Jungle Books, but it was in excellent, almost new condition. The seller not only packaged it so that it would not incur any damage, but also sent it out right away!
I am very, very happy about this book and the seller. Thank you, Amazon.
