The Jungle Book is a collection of amazing stories written by the famous Rudyard Kipling. The timeless stories enjoyed by both children and adults alike were first published in magazines in 1893-94 and reveal much of Kipling’s India, the country of his birth and where he spent the first six years of his life. The tales in the book are fables where the main characters are animals that teach timeless moral lessons.

Besides the boy Mowgli, the characters are animals, or rather, human archetypes in animal form. The stories, set in a forest in India, have themes like abandonment followed by fostering, law and freedom, respect and obedience.

It is again narrated by Horn, who has embarked on a quest from his home on the planet Blue in search of the heroic leader Patera Silk. Now Horn's identity has become ambiguous, a complex question embedded in the story, whose telling is itself complex, shifting from place to place, present to past.

This is a collection of our very best stories by Rudyard Kipling about Mowgli and his animal friends as well as his most dangerous enemy, the tiger Shere Khan.

L’obsession d’un milliardaire exhibitionniste, maladivement curieux, carburant aux secrets des autres et à une mystérieuse substance. Une femme marquée à vie, punie d’avoir aimé et condamnée à une lourde peine. Un ex-policier éclopé, perdu entre le bien et le mal, qu’une simple flamme suffit à paralyser. Une hypnothérapeute au magnétisme animal, sexuellement déviante et avide de pouvoir. Une longue liste de lois, bafouées une à une par un jeune homme désabusé.

Two years ago, Dr. Gina Brady broke Thomas Prescott’s heart, but now her panic-stricken satellite phone call starts it beating again with a fury. Thugs kidnapped the good doctor from the remote jungle village where she was working, and now the retired homicide detective’s expert skills are desperately needed to save her. Led by a colorful, but perhaps untrustworthy local guide, Prescott journeys deep into the Bolivian Amazon, plunging into a world where the only thing more dangerous than the gun-toting drug traffickers and the ruthless tribesmen, is the jungle itself.

This is a selection from Kipling's The Second Jungle Book.
