{"product_id":"the-jungle-book-hdu-9791096314157","title":"The Jungle Book: I \u0026 II","description":"The stories were first published in magazines in 1893-94. 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 The tales in the book (as well as those in The Second Jungle Book which followed in 1895, and which includes five further stories about Mowgli) are fables, using animals in an anthropomorphic manner to give moral lessons. \u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\" \u003cbr\u003eOther readers have interpreted the work as allegories of the politics and society of the time. The best-known of them are the three stories revolving around the adventures of Mowgli, an abandoned \"man cub\" who is raised by wolves in the Indian jungle. \u003cbr\u003eThe 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 followed by a piece of verse.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Very nice edition with french artist Douanier Rousseau famous paintings. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hdu, Rudyard Kipling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1096314150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9791096314157\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e North Star Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/27\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.00w x 0.83d","brand":"Hdu","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44190858477823,"sku":"9791096314157","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9367ea9f-bca4-450b-aa5d-35386480f33f.jpg?v=1690872759","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-jungle-book-hdu-9791096314157","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
