| Summary | "Le livre de la Jungle" by Rudyard Kipling is a collection of interconnected stories written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around a young boy named Mowgli, who is raised by a pack of wolves in the Indian jungle, navigating the complex relationships and challenges presented by the animal inhabitants of the jungle. Through Mowgli's adventures, the book explores themes of identity, belonging, and the balance between nature and civilization. The opening of "Le livre de la Jungle" introduces us to the serene yet ominous setting of the jungle at night, where Father Wolf awakens in his cave. The scene quickly transitions with the character of Tabaqui, the jackal, who shares news about Shere Khan, the tiger, who poses a threat to the peace of the jungle. This sets up the tension that will characterize Mowgli's story, as his plight begins when he is discovered by the wolves after being separated from humans. The wolves, notably Mother Wolf, decide to adopt him, challenging the status quo of their world. Mowgli’s acceptance into the wolf pack marks the beginning of his journey, teeming with danger, friendship, and the discovery of his own identity amidst the Laws of the Jungle.
