The Second Jungle Book e-bok

In the depths of the Indian jungle and far beyond, Rudyard Kipling gathers a tapestry of tales and poems that explore the wildness of nature and the mysteries of human and animal life. Some stories return to Mowgli, the boy raised by wolves, as he faces new dangers and wrestles with the pull between two worlds. Others move to distant landscapes, following holy men, brave hunters, and lost tribes in moments of survival, sacrifice, and change. First published in 1895, The Second Jungle Book expands the scope of Kipling’s storytelling, weaving together adventure, myth, and observation in a collection that reflects both the violence and the wonder of life in the wild. JOSEPH RUDYARD KIPLING [1835–1936] was an English author born in British India and a Nobel Prize laureate in literature. Kipling was one of the most popular writers in the United Kingdom during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with timeless classics such as The Jungle Book and Kim.
