    Rudyard Kipling

    Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was an English author and poet who began writing in India and shortly found his work celebrated in England. An extravagantly popular, but critically polarizing, figure even in his own lifetime, the author wrote several books for adults and children that have become classics, Kim, The Jungle Book, Just So Stories, Captains Courageous and others. Although taken to task by some critics for his frequently imperialistic stance, the author’s best work rises above his era’s politics. Kipling refused offers of both knighthood and the position of Poet Laureate, but was the first English author to receive the Nobel prize.

      I read Rikki Tikki Tavi a few years ago with my seventh graders and loved it. When I started this collection, I began with the first two Mowgli stories and loved them.Then I read the afterword. The editor of the books wrote "Kipling [was] a fascinating failure - a writer of considerable yet uncertain and ruined talent." I scoffed at this assessment. Surely this could not be a portrayal of the same author whose brilliance I have just read? Then I continued reading. Ugh...how much more tedious and painful the stories became; each worse than the last. I do not regret reading the first few stories of Mowgli, or the story of my most beloved mongoose. But, other than that, I want my time back. These were bad.
    • 5/5
      Savage, strange, sad, funny, wonderful. A classic; definitely recommended.
    • 4/5
      Don't let Disney put you off this -- it's neither sentimental nor soppy. This is an imaginative and sensitive collection of short stories, which do nothing less than imagine the animal kingdom as not the polar opposite to human society but as a parallel society with their own laws and customs. Anyone with an interest in mythology or cultural traditions will find a lot to like in this book. Neither do you have to be a fan of British colonialism: Kipling does not seem to take some of the simplistic attitudes towards India or the British empire that some (but not all) members of the British Raj seemed to take.In short -- if, like me, you had somewhat negative preconceptions of Kipling's work, it's well worth putting them aside and trying reading it. You will probably find it quite different to what you were expecting.
    • 5/5
      I read this book when I was in high school for and English class. I got more out of it by picking it up again as an adult. The stories are so rich and involved. When you're reading Kipling you hear the song of the jungle - and you want to be there.
    • 5/5
      Great short stories from the era when India was the jewel in the British Empire's crown. When I was a young child, this was the book that first gave me the notion of becoming a writer when I grew up.
    • 4/5
      I guess it was the Disney 'Jungle Book' that made me expect a more coherent novel sort of story. I should probably have read this when I was little, but I never got round to it, so the £2 classics version (at nearly twenty!) had to do. I think of the two books, I liked the Just So stories better. There are some charming stories in both.

      I know I have friends who would probably yell at me for reading it without really thinking about the issues of racism, imperalism, etc. I just tried to relax and enjoy it, though -- and I think if you want to, you can do that with Kipling. It's less prejudice in the sense of hate and discrimination and instead a sort of childlike assumption that white English people must be superior and they must bring enlightenment and civilisation to the natives.

      My favourite story was probably the mongoose who protects the family. Having been nicknamed 'Mongoose' at one point, I feel a sort of kinship with Rikki-Tikki-Tavi.

      The stories about Mowgli are probably the more famous, though, since there's more of them and because of Disney. They're nice, too. The version we get from Disney is so sanitised and idealised and so on, though -- these stories are actually a little more honest about the violence and danger, and problems like drought.
    • 3/5
      The famous and popular children's book of Kipling. I had long heard of the stories and been aware of this book, but never before read it. While it is, of course, quite different from and much better than the Hollywood movie of the same name, I was still a little disappointed. Kipling is such a talented word-smith that I expected more. It is definitely a book of its era - some of its accepted wisdom is no longer accepted. And the lazy shiftless monkey tribe may or may not have been Kipling's dig at the Indian population? Read as eBook August 2013.

      Once again, I'm struck by the savagery that resonates throughout Kipling's writing. It would be so easy to think of The Jungle Book in a more Disney-fied light: talking animals, singing, the rhythmic cadences of a fairy tale or lullaby. But overarching all that is the ever-present reminder that the world of the jungle is a world of nature, red in tooth and claw. Mowgli is raised by wolves and instructed by Baloo for the explicit purpose of survival in a harsh world that actively seeks his death. Kotick is born and raised amidst bloodshed from two distinct sources: other seals and man. "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi" subverts the traditional story of a pet protecting his master by making the masters little more than incidental characters; Rikki-Tikki wants to protect them, but his actions are driven by instinct rather than any familial bond with the humans. Even in the less-obviously blood-drenched stories, violence is a powerful force. Toomai's journey to witness the dance of the elephants puts him at great risk of death.

      The story I found most interesting, however, was the one which closes the book, "Her Majesty's Servants." The characters of this particular story are the camp animals for an army, but paradoxically, these might be the most innocent characters in the whole book. All their conversation is about war and its methods, but without any real recognition of what it means. These animals have been tamed by man, stripped of their natural instincts, and so, with the exception of the elephant, they don't realize what war means, content merely to follow orders and limit their perspective to the specifics of their duties.

      And maybe that's the true lesson of The Jungle Book. Yes, it's violent, endlessly circling and returning to the themes of death and danger, but in the world of the animals, death and danger exists because they are necessary parts of life. Animals must eat, so animals must hunt and kill. But for people, violence is stripped of that which makes it necessary. Wars don't happen for food and survival; they happen for sport and profit.

      Or maybe I'm just a filthy hippie.

      The Jungle Books are a bit different than I was expecting. The biggest thing I didn't know was that they are anthologies, not a novel. 2nd not all the stories are about Mowgli and crew. Most of the stories took place somewhere in India but there was one it each book that was very different. The first book had a story about seals and the second about Eskimos. It was a little weird. One of the biggest surprises was that several of the stories were much more gory than I had expected from the 'hype', not bad but a few of them I would be have to consider before reading to a 7 year old. Overall I enjoyed this book, it's worthwhile reading.
    • 5/5
      If you've only experienced Disney's version of the Mowgli stories, the books will show you a whole new world. The jungle is a dark and often violent place. Kipling's adventure tales are also commentaries on what he saw in the world of his time, and adults will find them as enthralling as their children.Many editions of these tales are heavily abridged...always to their detriment, in my opinion. My parents gave me this edition when I was 11 and it's remained my favorite. Whichever version you read, make sure it's a complete one as the stories of Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, Toomai and the others are just as good a read as the more famous Mowgli adventures.

      I had come across references to The Jungle Book numerous times over the years, most recently in The Tiger's Wife, where it plays quite an important role, which convinced me it was time to acquaint myself with this classic of children's literature. I vaguely recall reading the abridged and illustrated Mowgli stories as a child, but was quite unprepared for what I found in this omnibus version containing both Jungle Books. The first thing that struck me was the level of sophistication of the stories, which seemed to be possibly too complex, in language at least, to be fully intelligible to children today. The second thing which surprised me was that other than the Mowgli stories—about a boy raised by wolves who becomes the king of the jungle, so to speak—none of the other short stories were set in the jungle, and in at least a couple of them, animals were secondary characters only. As is the case with most people, I enjoyed the Mowgli stories most, because of the jungle setting and the variety of wild animals who each in turn are given ample room to express themselves and display their anthropomorphized characters. I've always been fascinated by the notion that certain human beings have a gift for communicating with and understanding animals, and was well regaled here, albeit only in fantasy. It's impossible to read these stories and not be impressed by the unique mentalities and behaviour of the main characters; Akela the wolf, Baloo the bear, Bagheera the panther, Kaa the snake and of course the lame tiger Shere Khan, have all become legendary because each has important life lessons to teach Mowgli and the reader, but more importantly because they become familiar to us as the stories progress while also retaining their mythical status. Had I only rated the Mowgli stories as a whole, some favourites of which are Mowgli's Brothers, Kaa's Hunting, How Fear Came, Red Dog, along with another great favourite, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi—about the eponymous mongoose who outwits a pair of dangerous snakes—I would probably have given the books four stars at least. But some of the other stories, such as Her Majesty's Servants, The Undertakers and Quiquern did not at all appeal to me and diluted the experience. Because of this, it is very likely that I will read my favourite selection from the Jungle Book and The Second Jungle Book again sometime, and will likely appreciate those stories all the more as I revisit what will by then have become familiar and beloved characters.
    • 3/5
      I am glad we read 'Just So Stories' first because I don't know if we would have gone out of our way to read another story by Rudyard Kipling after reading 'The Jungle Books.' The stories about Mowgli were by far the favorites and Rikki Tikki was exciting but we were less than enchanted with this book.
    • 4/5
      I didn't expect to love this book as much as I did. Well, as much as I loved a good half of it. This isn't a novel, but a collection of 15 stories. Eight of them do involve Mowgli, a young Indian boy orphaned by the evil tiger Shere Khan, raised by wolves and who can count as friends and protectors Bagheera the black panther, Baloo the bear and Kaa the rock python. I've actually never seen the famous Disney film made from those stories, but that might have helped make the reading experience all the more fresh and delightful. What particularly struck me was the close observation of nature and animals evident right from the first sentence. If I were rating the Mowgli stories alone, I'd rank this book a five. But there are seven other stories, and these I felt more mixed about. I did love "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi" about a brave mongoose versus cobras every bit as much as the Mowgli stories. I really liked two stories of the arctic, "The White Seal" about an Alaskan seal trying to find a sanctuary from men seeking to kill seals for fur and "Quiquern" about Canadian Inuits and their dogs searching for food. I liked "The Miracle of Purun Bhagat" and thought "Toomai of the Elephants" Okay. But I didn't like "The Undertakers" at all and hated "Her Majesty's Servants." One of the reasons I didn't expect to like Kipling much at all is his reputation as an imperialist and racist. He's notoriously the author of the poem "The White Man's Burden." (And just because you're the first doesn't mean you're the second. Arthur Conan Doyle struck me as uncritical of imperialism but it was clear from his stories he was no racist--even believed in racial intermarriage. Kipling's views are quite different judging from the introduction to the edition I read.) Despite Kipling's politics though I found reading this book there were good reasons why Indian authors such as Arundhati Roy, V.S. Naipaul and Salman Rushdie find Kipling impressive and even influential. Kipling can be a wonderful storyteller. Rushdie has said Kipling's writing has "the power simultaneously to infuriate and to entrance." Mostly I was entranced. But a few times, and especially in "Her Majesty's Servants," I thought the dark side of Kipling, and his unapologetic imperialism and certainty everyone had their place and should obediently stay in it, was at its worst.
    • 5/5
      I highly recommend theses stories
    • 5/5
      Really good reading. Like Dickens, it is better read out loud, just sounds so good. Every kid should here these stories.
    • 4/5
      The edition that I read contains both the first and the second Jungle Books.I had never read this as a child, and was only familiar with the Disney version. Therefore, this book was full of surprises! Some of my favorite stories, like Rikki Tikki Tavi and many others didn't even make it into the film at all. There were even stories about the Arctic! As far as the Mowgli stories, which were wonderful, Kaa was far wiser and was not an antagonist.I'm so glad that I finally read this. I enjoyed it.
    • 2/5
      I was super excited to read this book before seeing the new movie. I didn't realize this, but the Jungle Books are a bunch of short stories, some of which, are about Mowgli and the characters we know from Disney's The Jungle Book. The stories about Mowgli and the Jungle are OK. A little dry and boring at times. The other stories, however, are EXTREMELY boring and VERY dry. There were only a couple stories I liked that didn't have Mowgli in them; the mongoose story, the seal story and the elephant story. Other than that, the other stories were kind of painful to get through... I wonder if I am the only one that felt that way..... :-/
    • 5/5
      Not only a ripping yarn, but one with many lessons to be learned -- I have met far too many of the Bandar-Log in my time. It's been quite a while since I've read it, so parents might want to make this a read-aloud to be able to explain some of Kipling's outdated ideas. Take what's good and leave the rest.
    • 4/5
      These are among the first books that I remember reading as a young boy. Of them my favorites were the Mowgli tales (developed by Disney for the cinema). Mowgli is an Indian infant who is lost in the jungle after Shere Khan (the tiger) kills his family. Bagheera (the black panther) places him with a wolf family that has a newborn litter. Mowgli's new "parents" and Bagheera and Baloo (the brown bear) sponsor him for membership in the Wolf Pack and, much to Shere Khan's chagrin, he is admitted. Thus Mowgli is raised according to Jungle Law, but has engendered the enmity of Shere Khan who is plotting his revenge and ingratiating himself with the younger wolves. This leads to an exciting denouement and with the several other Mowgli stories--there are some prequels--impressed this young reader. Kipling strikes a nice balance between anthropomorphizing the animals and understanding Mowgli's natural superiority. Also appearing in this collection is the story of Rikki Tikki Tavi--all about an intrepid young mongoose and his life or death battle to protect an Indian villa from a couple of particularly unpleasant cobras. Truly Rikki Tikki Tavi is one of the great heroes in all of literature. These stories are a great introduction for children (girls and boys) to the work of a true master storyteller. I enjoyed the adventures of Mowgli and his friends and eventually discovered more Kipling as I grew older.
    • 5/5
      Even better now than when I was a child

      This is the first time I have read this book since I was a little girl. The stories are well written, for adult and child alike. It is a great thing to get to know these classical characters.
    • 4/5
      Most people will be familiar with this story, and will know why it is a classic. On the other hand, they may have not read the original version with the additional tales and poetry. It was worth reading these, even though the story of Mowgli is certainly the best known story for a good reason! The other tales though show the versatility of the author, and are engaging in their own way
    • 3/5
      I think this book is a bit gruesome for children, but... oh well, that's just me. Maybe it's all a matter of point of view, the original fairy tales are not half as glamorous as it is shown by the Disney universe.

      I usually dislike books with talking animals, and this one was no exception. I found that this book was rather bland and it failed to draw my attention to any of its tales. Rikki-Tikki-Tavi's was, by far, the most interesting one. As for the other ones, well, they're not really impressive. Indeed, perhaps I'm not the target audience of this book, thus my lack of interest for most of its aspects.
    • 3/5
      What can you say about such a classic as this? Mowgli is raised in the wilds of the Indian Junble by wolves, and has a series of adventures, in which he proves himself brave, and kind and fair. I enjoyed reading the stories that make up The Jungle Book, for all they were a product of the era in which they were written.
    • 4/5
      This is a story about a little boy Mowgli. At the beginning of the story his parents are killed by the lame tiger Shere khan . Shere khan vows to eat Mowgli. But Mowgli learns the law of the jungle , how to hunt and how to make fire! as he is learning this, the evil savage monkeys catch him and make him teach them to weave stick and do man skills. But then Baloo and Bageera his two friends try to rescue him.He eventually kills Shere khan with a landslide of buffaloes when he is acting herd boy at a man village. At the end he hunts freely with his brother wolfs.This book was very good. I recommend this book to many young readers. It helps you expose your mind to literature. There is lots of action in this book,there is lots of humor as well. I like how mowgli is brave . He is very courageous, he fought a tiger,can't get more courageous than that! Once again I recommend this book!
    • 3/5
      The Mowgli stories are excellent - the rest, less so. Even Riki Tiki Tavi, it turns out, isn't so great. Too bad - I remember a great animated version of it that I watched as a kid.The imperialism is present, though not generally so obtrusive as might be expected (the final story an exception, obviously).
    • 3/5
      A favorite classic from my childhood.
    • 4/5
      This a collection of tales that include Mowgli, Baloo, Bagheera, and Shere Khan; the great snake Kaa and the Monkey People; the white seal Kotick; Rikki-Tikki-Tavi and the human family he saves from the cobra couple Kala Nag and Nagaina; Little Toomai and the elephants; and a mule named Billy. "Mowgli's Brothers" is Chapter 1 and it's the basis for the popularized story and film called "The Jungle Book."These are stories of adventure and exploration of the world and its inhabitants. The adventures contain life's lessons along the way. I think most of these stories are fantastic in how they engage the reader through a fun plot and an easy reading style, especially "Mowgli's Brothers" and "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi."
    • 5/5
      Kipling was born in India, was removed to England when ten, to return for work as an adult for 6 years. The Jungle stories are here compiled from magazine articles written while the author was living in Vermont (!). Also contains Baloo's Maxims [46], Mowgli's Song [131], other song-verses [e.g. 42, 89, 300], and the law of the Jungle, interspersed, which lays down rules for the safety of all, as taught to all cubs, by Baloo the sleepy brown bear. Speaking of cubs, there is Mowgli, the feral child, raised by wolves. Other much-loved stories include the heroic mongoose, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, and the elephant-handler, Toomai. Bracketed by the jungle stories is a tale out of the Bering Sea: Kotick, a fur seal, searches for a home for his kind where they will not be persecuted by humans. Since Kipling was a great admirer of Theodor Herzl who sought self-determination for the Jewish people, it is difficult not to view this otherwise out-of-place message as a metaphor in support of a fellow journalist and friend. Ironically, three decades later, a social irritant in Germany usurped a reverse of Kipling's symbol, the Swastica, as an insignia for a political party devoted to persecution.
