The Jungle Book anime - wallpapers: (Redirected from Jungle Book), Note: this page discusses the original Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling. For information on the 1967 Disney cartoon version see The Jungle Book (1967 movie). French edition, 1957. Cover art by Paul Durand.The Jungle Book (1894) is a collection of stories written by the famous author Rudyard Kipling while he was living in Vermont. All of the stories were previously published in magazines in 1893-4. 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 stories are probably "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi", the story of a heroic mongoose, and "Toomai of the Elephants", the tale of a young elephant-handler. The Second Jungle Book followed in 1895.The Jungle Bookis used as a motivational book by cub scouts, a junior element of the scouting movement. This use of the book's universe was approved by Kipling after a direct petition of Robert Baden Powell, founder of the scouting movement. Stories in The Jungle Book: Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow. The complete book is on-line at Project_Gutenberg's official website and elsewhere. "Mowgli's Brothers": A boy is raised by wolves in the Indian Jungle with the help of Baloo the bear and Bagheera the panther, and then has to fight the tiger Shere Khan. This story has also been published as a short book in its own right. "Kaa's Hunting": This story takes place before Mowgli fights Shere Khan. When Mowgli is abducted by monkeys Baloo and Bagheera set out to rescue him with the aid of Kaa the python. The "King Louie" sequence in the 1967 Disney cartoon is a heavily distorted version of this story. "Tiger! Tiger!": Mowgli returns to the human village and is adopted by Messua and her husband who believe him to be their long-lost son Nathoo. But he has trouble adjusting to human life, and Shere Khan still wants to kill him. The story's title is taken from the poem "The Tyger" by William Blake. "The White Seal": Kotick, a rare white-furred seal, searches for a new home for his people, where they will not be hunted by humans. "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi": Rikki-Tikki the mongoose defends a human family living in India against a pair of evil cobras. This story has also been published as a short book. "Toomai of the Elephants": Toomai, a ten-year old boy who helps to tend working elephants is told that he will never be a fully-fledged elephant handler until he has seen the elephants dance. This story has also been published as a short book. "Her Majesty's Servants" (originally titled "Servants of the Queen"): On the night before a military parade a British soldier eavesdrops on a conversation between the camp animals. Adaptations: The book's text has often been abridged or adapted for younger readers, and there have also been several comic book adaptations. There are several Walt Disney cartoon adaptations based very loosely on the Mowgli stories. (Adaptations of The Jungle Book tend to concentrate on Mowgli's adventures.) It has also been filmed several times with varying degrees of authenticity. Disney's 1967 animated feature film, based loosely on the Mowgli stories, was extremely popular, despite (or possibly because of) the liberties it took with the plot and characters. "Toomai of the Elephants" was filmed as Elephant Boy, which later inspired a television series of the same name. [br]From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
