Kaa's Hunting
"Kaa's Hunting" is an 1893 short story by Rudyard Kipling featuring Mowgli. Chronologically the story falls between the first and second halves of Mowgli's Brothers, and is the second story in ''The Jungle Book'' (1894) where it is accompanied by the poem "Road Song of the Bandar-log". Story The seven-year-old "man-cub" Mowgli, raised by wolves in the Indian jungle, is being tutored in the Law of the Jungle by Baloo the bear, but "runs off in a temper" when Baloo hits him over the head for inattention. Bagheera the black panther, who disapproves of this corporal punishment, persuades Mowgli to return and recite his lessons. These include the "Master Words" for various species that identify the speaker as a friend. Bagheera is impressed with Mowgli's progress, but both are horrified when the man-cub then reveals that he has been visiting the Bandar-log ("Monkey-People") who are shunned by the rest of the jungle. Mowgli is chastened, but soon afterward is abducted by the Banda ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Five Nations
''The Five Nations'', a collection of poems by English writer and poet Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936), was first published in late 1903, both in the United Kingdom and the U.S.A. Some of the poems were new; some had been published before (notably "Recessional"" in 1897), sometimes in different versions. Description In 1903, the United Kingdom consisted of four nations: England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. It was soon suggested that Kipling's "five nations" were the "five free nations of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa .e. Cape Colony and 'the islands of the sea' .e. the British Isles —all dominated by Britons; and except in the last case, by recent settlers. That suggestion was endorsed some one hundred years later. In an early (1903) review, American critic Bliss Perry delicately called ''The Five Nations'' both "a notable collection" and "singularly restricted in range of interest". The poems The poems are divided into two groups. The first is untitled, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Just So Stories
''Just So Stories for Little Children'' is a 1902 collection of origin stories by the British author Rudyard Kipling. Considered a classic of children's literature, the book is among Kipling's best known works. Kipling began working on the book by telling the first three chapters as bedtime stories to his daughter Josephine. These had to be told "just so" (exactly in the words she was used to) or she would complain. The stories illustrate how animals acquired their distinctive features, such as how the leopard got his spots. For the book, Kipling illustrated the stories himself. The stories have appeared in a variety of adaptations including a musical and animated films. Evolutionary biologists have noted that what Kipling did in fiction in a Lamarckian way, they have done in reality, providing Darwinian explanations for the evolutionary development of animal features. Context The stories, first published in 1902, are origin stories, fantastic accounts of how various fea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
