About this audiobook

The story "The Jungle Book" takes place in a tropical jungle where people are obviously absent. But one day Bagheera the Panther discovers a baby in the wreck of a boat. Feeling pity on the child, Bagheera takes him to be raised with the wolves. Ten years later, the child has grown into Mowgli. Mowgli discovers that his life is in danger because of the return to the area of Shere Khan the Tiger, whose hatred of humans is such that Mowgli faces certain death if discovered. His friends Baloo, Bagheera and Kaa prepare him for the life in the jungle. But then the monkeys kidnap him.

Nachdem Mowglis Eltern von dem heimtückischen Tiger Shere Khan angegriffen wurden, sind sie geflohen und haben ihren Sohn im Dschungel zurückgelassen. Fortan lebt er bei einem Wolfsrudel und wird von seinen Freunden, dem Bären Baloo, dem Panther Bagheera und der Pythonschlange Kaa, auf das Leben in der Wildnis und den Kampf gegen Shere Khan vorbereitet. Mowgli lernt die strengen Gesetze des Dschungels und die Sprache seiner Bewohner. Nur das respektlose Volk der Affen hält sich nicht an die Regeln und entführt den Jungen.

Rudyard Kipling

Rudyard Kipling was born in India in 1865. After intermittently moving between India and England during his early life, he settled in the latter in 1889, published his novel The Light That Failed in 1891 and married Caroline (Carrie) Balestier the following year. They returned to her home in Brattleboro, Vermont, where Kipling wrote both The Jungle Book and its sequel, as well as Captains Courageous. He continued to write prolifically and was the first Englishman to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907 but his later years were darkened by the death of his son John at the Battle of Loos in 1915. He died in 1936.
