The Jungle Book

The Jungle Book" by Rudyard Kipling is a collection of stories originally published in the late 19th century. It primarily revolves around the adventures of a young boy named Mowgli, who is raised by wolves in the Indian jungle, exploring themes of nature, survival, and the clash between civilization and the wild. The narrative delves into the bonds formed between Mowgli and various animal characters, highlighting the laws that govern the lives of jungle inhabitants. At the start of the book, the story introduces Mowgli's origins as he is discovered by Father Wolf after wandering into the wolf pack's territory. The fierce tiger Shere Khan poses a threat as he seeks to claim Mowgli for himself. Mother Wolf, however, fiercely defends Mowgli, declaring him as her own and igniting a debate among the pack members about the consequences of accepting a human child into their midst.
