Poesia e prosa strettamente legate in uno dei libri più significativi del 19° secolo, che celebrava il colonialismo inglese e inaugurava il mito del buon selvaggio. Nello sgretolarsi di certezze e ideali dell’epoca vittoriana ormai al termine, Kipling, primo premio Nobel inglese, rilanciava invece i valori del patriottismo e connotava la giungla indiana, le sue leggi e gli animali di positività, di forza mascolina e di coraggio, scrivendo l’affascinante storia del bambino-lupo più famoso della letteratura.

Ein Wolfsrudel zieht den Indianerjungen Mowgli auf, der, herangewachsen, in sein Dorf zurückkehrt - um schon bald abermals zu einer Zeit der Abenteuer mit seinen Tierfreunden im Dschungel zu verschwinden.
