Mowgli é abandonado na selva quando nasce. Coletado por um bando de lobos, ele aprende a viver lá, conhecendo os perigos da selva e seus inimigos, especialmente o tigre Shere Kan, que quer a sua pele. Um dia, ele descobre que não é o único Homem... Ele deve tomar uma decisão difícil: permanecer num ambiente familiar, com aqueles que o viram crescer ou ir viver com aqueles que se parecem com ele?As aventuras de Mowgli foram adaptadas em filme diversas vezes. Sem esquecer a animação clássica da Disney de 1967, os estúdios Warner Bros produziram o filme "Mowgli: Entre Dois Mundos" em 2018.Este audiolivro é narrado em português brasileiro.Nascido em Bombaim, Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) foi enviado para um internato na Inglaterra aos 6 anos de idade. Sentindo-se muito infeliz nesse país, voltou para a Índia em 1882, onde começou a escrever. Em 1907, ele recebe o Prêmio Nobel de Literatura, tornando-se o primeiro autor em língua inglesa a recebê-lo. Kipling produziu vários relatos da vida inglesa na Índia, mas foi com seu romance "The Jungle Book" que ele ganhou notoriedade. Esta obra foi adaptada ao cinema várias vezes, destacando-se o filme de animação dos estúdios da Disney "Mogli – O Menino Lobo" em 1967 e seu remake em 2016.

"Quien sepa leer la causa de una acción habrá ya recorrido la mitad del camino que lleva a la libertad."Publicada en 1901, "Kim" narra la historia Kimball O'Hara, un huérfano de padre soldado y madre blanca y pobre, que sobrevive mendigando en la época de la India colonial. Durante su niñez, Kim conoce a un lama, al que se le une en un viaje por India. Durante este viaje, los dos empiezan a familiarizarse con el conflicto político entre el Imperio Ruso y el Imperio Británico llamado "El Gran Juego". Poco después, llega a los oídos del capitán del regimiento del que el padre de Kim formaba parte, que Kim se ha convertido en el discípulo de un lama, y en contra de su voluntad, pero con el apoyo moral y financiero del lama, le manda a estudiar a una prestigiosa escuela británica en India. Después de años de estudio y después de asegurarse un puesto en el gobierno donde Kim trabajará con las operaciones oficiales de "El Gran Juego", el muchacho visita el Himalaya con el lama, donde acabarán involucrados en una trama de espionaje sin darse cuenta.La trama de "Kim" está repleta de elementos dignos de las mejores historias de espionaje y aventuras, lo que convierte esta novela en una de las mejores obras escritas por el premio Nobel de literatura Rudyard Kipling. Sin embargo, uno de los elementos más fascinantes de esta obra es el elemento que juega la religión y misticismo principalmente a manos del lama, y su anhelo por conseguir la iluminación espiritual a través de la búsqueda del legendario Río de la Flecha. Esta combinación de géneros literarios y temáticas que a primera vista no parecen estar conectados, se entrelazan en perfecta harmonía para presentar al lector/a un auténtico clásico de la literatura. "Kim" ha sido adaptada tanto a la televisión como al cine varias veces, incluyendo una primera adaptación estrenada en 1950 y dirigida por Victor Saville.Joseph Rudyard Kipling fue un escritor y poeta británico nacido en 1865 en Bombay. Autor de relatos, cuentos, libros para niños y poesía. Con numerosas adaptaciones cinematográficas, algunas de sus obras más populares son la colección de relatos El libro de la selva (1894), la novela de espionaje Kim (1901) o los poemas "Gunga Din" (1892) y "Si" (1895).

"... Por lo tanto, así están las cosas, deberemos hacerlo solos, e irnos a otro lugar donde no esté lleno de hombres y uno pueda ir a la suya. No somos pequeños hombres, y no hay nada que nos de miedo, excepto las bebidas, y hemos firmado un contrato sobre eso. Por lo tanto, no vamos a ser reyes.""El hombre que pudo reinar" fue publicada en 1888 y es considerada una de las mejores novelas escritas por Rudyard Kipling.Este relato narra la historia de dos oficiales británicos que se convierten en los reyes de un remoto lugar en Afganistán llamado Kafiristán. El narrador de la historia, un periodista inglés, el cual parece estar altamente inspirado en la propia vida y trabajo de Kipling, conoce a nuestros dos protagonistas, Peachie Carnehan y Daniel Dravot, durante uno de sus viajes alrededor de la India. Carnehan y Dravor le explican su plan de continuar explorando el mundo más allá de la India y de convertirse en reyes de algún lugar. Con gran elocuencia y traza, Kipling nos presenta con una magnífica historia de aventuras, imprescindible para los amantes de este género. Sin embargo, la narración de la historia no se limita a centrarse en las hazañas y aventuras de nuestros protagonistas: el escritor va más allá de la ficción y también incluye en su historia una clara crítica a la supremacía blanca y británica de la época que reinaba en las colonias de este imperio. La novela está basada en la historia real de James Brooke, un soldado británico que se convirtió en el primer rajá blanco de Sarawak, un estado malasio en la isla de Borneo, y en Josiah Harlan, un aventurero estadounidense que durante uno de sus viajes a través de la India y Afganistán fue otorgado el título perpetuo de Príncipe de Ghor, en Afganistán. "El hombre que pudo reinar" fue adaptada a la gran pantalla en 1975 por John Huston y protagonizada por Sean Connery y Michael Cain. La película obtuvo cuatro candidaturas a los premios Óscar.

The Jungle Book is a collection of stories. The tales in the book are fables, using animals in an anthropomorphic manner to give 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 best-known of them are the three stories revolving around the adventures of an abandoned "man cub" Mowgli who is raised by wolves in the Indian jungle. The most famous of the other four stories are probably "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi", the story of a heroic mongoose, and "Toomai of the Elephants", the tale of a young elephant-handler. As with much of Kipling''s work, each of the stories is preceded by a piece of verse, and succeeded by another. "The Second Jungle Book" is a sequel which features five stories about Mowgli and three unrelated stories, all but one set in India, most of which Kipling wrote while living in Vermont.

Era il 1902 quando Rudyard Kipling pubblicò questa serie di racconti per l'infanzia, nei quali  il tema  ricorrente è la fantasiosa origine di alcuni animali, ma anche della scrittura. Perché la pelle del rinoceronte ha quelle grosse grinze? Perché l'elefante ha il naso lungo? Domande curiose e buffe, alle quali, molto seriamente, l'autore risponde con invenzioni strabilianti, capaci di trasportare in mondi fantastici anche il lettore adulto, lasciandolo piacevolmente divertito. Kipling incanta per la capacità di dare a un fatto la spiegazione che, in quel contesto prevalentemente fantasioso e per niente logico, segue criteri di ragionamento di grande coerenza, mantenendo l'ambientazione magica, misteriosa, per certi versi ancestrale: la balena ha la gola stretta per l'intervento del marinaio che aveva inghiottito, il cammello ottiene la gobba come punizione della sua pigrizia. Storie adatte a essere raccontate ad alta voce, perchè s'incontrano rime e assonanze, parole inventate e termini raffinati, gruppi di parole uniti da trattini che diventano nomi, altri che richiamano strambe cantilene e che, per la loro musicalità, viene quasi la voglia di canticchiarle. Una lettura classica, profonda, che vale la pena riscoprire.Joseph Rudyard Kipling è stato uno scrittore e poeta britannico. Fra le sue opere più note: la raccolta di racconti Il libro della giungla, i romanzi Kim, Capitani coraggiosi, i componimenti in versi Gunga Din, Se e Il fardello dell'uomo bianco. Dai libri di Kipling sono inoltre stati tratti numerosi film, anche d'animazione. Il solo Il libro della giungla ha avuto due popolarissime riduzioni a cartone animato di Walt Disney nel 1967 e nel 2003, mentre nel 1942 ne era stato tratto il primo film, che ha avuto a sua volta due remake nel 1994 e 1998. Noti al grande pubblico sono stati anche i due più recenti remake in live-action del 2016 e del 2018. Famoso è anche il cartone animato giapponese del 1989 dal titolo Il libro della giungla. Altro romanzo di Kipling adattato al grande schermo è stato Kim con l'omonimo film del 1950 (con Dean Stockwell ed Errol Flynn), seguito da una versione televisiva inglese nel 1984 e dal cartone animato della Rai nel 2009. Anche L'uomo che volle essere re ha avuto la trasposizione cinematografica nel 1975, col titolo L'uomo che volle farsi re: diretta da John Huston e con Sean Connery e Michael Caine per protagonisti, vede anche la partecipazione di Christopher Plummer nel ruolo dello stesso Kipling.

"In American Notes", the Anglo-Indian Rudyard Kipling visits the USA, and the travel-diary that came out of it offers an interesting view of the America of the 1880's.Kipling affects a wide-eyed innocence and expresses astonishment at features of American life that differ from his own, not least the freedom (and attraction) of American women. However, he scorns the political machines that make a mockery of American democracy, and whilst exhibiting the racist attitude that has made him controversial since he was first published, he does conclude that it not easy being different in the land of the free.
