Kipling - A jungle second könyve - Helikon Zsebkönyvek 102.

Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) did not receive the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907 - as the first English-language writer - for The Jungle Book, but more than 150 years after the author's birth, it can be safely stated that - the poem If... besides - this collection of short stories is Kipling's best-known work. Children who read for the first time the stories about Mowgli, the pack of wolves from Sioni and other inhabitants of the Indian jungle, are fascinated by the exciting, adventurous stories; and later, those who pick up The Jungle Book again as adults, realize what depths are hidden in these seemingly simple short stories. This work by Kipling has been adapted in countless forms, several films and cartoons, and even musicals have been made of it - this also shows that it is a timeless masterpiece. In this two-volume edition, the short stories can be read in their original order in a new, more accurate translation than before. (The paperback version was based on the Helikon volume published in 2016.)
