Rudyard Kipling was one of the most popular writers of prose and poetry in the late 19th and 20th century, and awarded the Noble Prize for Literature in 1907. Born in Bombay on 30 December 1865, as was the custom in those days, he and his sister were sent back to England when he was 5. The ill-treatment and cruelty by the couple who they boarded with in Portsmouth, Kipling himself suggested, contributed to the onset of his literary life

La protagonista di questa racconto dalle tinte futuristiche è una nave mercantile di nome Dimbula, perno di un insolito racconto che ha al suo centro le tematiche della tecnologia e del progresso scientifico. All'interno del racconto, Kipling si diverte a dar voce al ponte, ai chiodi, ai bagli, agli argani, in un gioco di dialoghi surreali che alla fine daranno vita a una voce sola: quella della nave Dimbula che troverà se stessa nel suo primo viaggio da Liverpool a New York.

Quattro racconti – introvabili da tempo in Italia e mai raccolti insieme – caratterizzati da un preciso senso dell'avventura e da un graffiante umorismo venato di aspetti satirici. Uno dei lati meno noti e tuttavia originalissimi dell'autore di "Kim", "Il libro della giungla", "Capitani coraggiosi" e "L'uomo che volle farsi Re". A "Il diavolo e l'abisso", primo straordinario e travolgente racconto lungo, in una nuova traduzione, se ne aggiungono altri tre: "La nave che trovò se stessa", "La mia domenica in patria" e "Pane nell'acqua".

"Il diavolo e l'abisso" è uno straordinario e appassionante racconto lungo, pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1895 sul numero natalizio del settimanale The Graphic. Il racconto narra dell'avventura finale di un grande piroscafo adoperato per missioni piuttosto dubbie, che cambia continuamente nome. Un giorno, infatti, camuffato da baleniera e battente bandiera britannica, viene intercettato e, infine, braccato da una cannoniera nei mari dell'Indonesia, dove di balene, per l'appunto, non se ne sono mai viste.

"Imagine-toi qu'au temps jadis, l'Éléphant n'avait pas de trompe. Il n'avait qu'un nez noiraud, courtaud, et gros comme une botte. Il pouvait bien le tortiller de droite et de gauche, mais non pas ramasser des choses avec." "L'Enfant d'éléphant" (1902) est un conte racontant pourquoi la trompe de l'éléphant est si grande. Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) était un auteur britannique. Né en Inde, il est surtout connu pour son roman "Le Livre de la Jungle". Il fut à la fois le premier anglais et le plus jeune lauréat (42 ans) à recevoir le Prix Nobel de littérature.

Helden aus Kindertagen - Mowgli, Baloo und Bagheera. Es ist eine fremde und abenteuerliche Welt, die der kleine Mowgli im indischen Dschungel erlebt, nachdem ihn der Tiger Shir Khan aus dem Dorf seiner Eltern geraubt hat. Er wächst bei einer Wolfsfamilie auf und schließt Freundschaft mit den Tieren der Wildnis, dem Bären Baloo und dem Panter Bagheera. Aber auch das ungebundene Leben in der Natur kommt nicht ohne feste Regeln aus: Mowgli und die Tiere des Dschungels müssen ihnen gehorchen, wenn sie überleben wollen.

The story of the man-cub Mowgli who is raised by wolves in the Indian jungle, guided by his mentors Baloo the bear, Bagheera the black panther and the ancient python Kaa, and who confronts his arch-enemy Shere Khan the tiger, is one of the greatest literary myths ever created. Mowgli's adventures are juxtaposed with other animal stories set in the British Empire, ranging from the heroic battle of 'Rikki-tikki-tavi' and the Himalayan pastoral 'Purun Bhagat' to the drama of survival in 'The White Seal'.

Kipling's Jungle Book remains popular and has seen many adaptations to film and other media. Besides the boy Mowgli, all 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, and promotes the ideas of law and freedom, respect and obedience. Even critics of Kipling's supposed imperialism admit to the extraordinary power of his storytelling.

The spoiled son of a railroad tycoon is saved from drowning in the north Atlantic. President Teddy Roosevelt extolled the book in his essay "What We Can Expect of the American Boy", praising Kipling for describing "in the liveliest way just what a boy should be and do." One of Kipling’s greatest adventure stories.

Wer kennt nicht den Wolfsjungen Mogli und seine Freunde, den klugen Panther Baghira und Balu, den schläfrigen braunen Bären, oder die Pythonschlange Kaa und Moglis größten Feind, den Tiger Schir Khan? Spätestens seit Walt Disneys wunderbarem Zeichentrickfilm ist Kiplings Abenteuergeschichte eines der populärsten Kinderbücher der Welt. Gerade diese scheinbare Bekanntheit aber lenkt den Blick von dem literarischen Meisterwerk ab, das wie kein zweites die Exotik des Dschungels und die Faszination Indiens beschwört.

Era il 1902 quando Rudyard Kipling pubblicò questa serie di racconti per l'infanzia, nei quali il tema ricorrente è la fantasiosa origine di alcuni animali, ma anche della scrittura. Perché la pelle del rinoceronte ha quelle grosse grinze? Perché l'elefante ha il naso lungo? Domande curiose e buffe, alle quali, molto seriamente, l'autore risponde con invenzioni strabilianti, capaci di trasportare in mondi fantastici anche il lettore adulto, lasciandolo piacevolmente divertito.

As well, the eight poems: "The Mother Lodge", "If", "The Sons of the Widow", "Banquet Night", "The Palace", "The Thousandth Man", "A Pilgrim’s Way", and "My New-Cut Ashlar".

First published in 1895, it contains five stories about Mowgli and three unrelated pieces. Mowgli, the boy raised by wolves, is older and wiser but still learns more of life and survival in the Indian jungle, in the company of well-known characters like Baloo the brown bear and Bagheera the black panther.

With vivid characters and an hysterically funny choice of words, Rudyard Kipling’s beloved stories “explain” how camels got humps, great whales got tiny throats, elephants got trunks, and more. These time-tested classics cause us to look at accepted qualities in new and creative ways, and even better, make us laugh out loud. With his menagerie of voices and warm, witty narrative presence, Jim Weiss brings Kipling’s own words to life.
