Bücher von Rudyard Kipling

"Rikki-Tikki-Tavi" is a short story in the 1894 anthology The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling about adventures of a valiant young Indian grey mongoose. It has often been anthologised, and has been published several times as a short book. The Book 5 of Panchatantra, an ancient Indian collection, includes the mongoose and snake story, an inspiration for the "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi" story. The story follows the experiences of a mongoose named Rikki-Tikki-Tavi (from his chattering vocalizations) after he becomes the pet of an English family residing in India. He becomes friendly with some of the other creatures inhabiting the garden and is warned of the cobras Nag and Nagaina, who are angered by the human family's presence on their territory.Accordingly, Nag enters the house's bathroom before dawn to kill the humans and make Rikki leave, so that their babies will grow up in a safe place. Rikki attacks Nag from behind in the bathroom. The ensuing struggle awakens the family, and the father kills Nag with a shotgun blast while Rikki bites down on the hood of the struggling male cobra.The grieving female snake Nagaina attempts revenge against the humans, cornering them as they have breakfast on an outdoor veranda. She is distracted by a female vulture, while Rikki destroys the cobra's unhatched brood of eggs, except for one. He carries it to where Nagaina is threatening to bite little Teddy, while his parents watch helplessly.Nagaina recovers her egg but is pursued by Rikki away from the house to the cobra's underground nest, where an unseen final battle takes place. Rikki emerges triumphant from the hole, declaring Nagaina dead. With the immediate threat defeated, Rikki dedicates his life to guarding the garden, resulting in no snake even daring to enter it. (The text does not say whether or not Rikki has destroyed the last egg.) Director Alexandra Snezhko-Blotskaya shot an animated short film of the story titled ¿¿¿¿¿-¿¿¿¿¿-¿¿¿¿ (Rikki-Tikki-Tavi) in 1965 in the Soviet Union, at the film studio Soyuzmultfilm. Ten years later, Chuck Jones adapted it for a half-hour television special in the United States. Aleksandr Zguridi and Nana Kldiashvili directed a live-action feature film entitled Rikki-Tikki-Tavi four years later.In the anime television series, Jungle Book Sh¿nen Mowgli, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi is a supporting character who is the pet of an Indian family and is a heroic defender of them.In the CGI series The Jungle Book (TV series), Rikki-Tikki-Tavi is an occasional character who is a friend of Mowgli.

"Imray hatte das Unmögliche vollbracht; ohne eine Zeile zu hinterlassen, aus unbegreiflichen Gründen, in der Blüte der Jahre, an der Schwelle einer Karriere, hatte er die Welt verlassen - das heißt: die kleine indische Station, in der er lebte. Tags vorher war er noch frisch und wohlauf gewesen, vergnügt und emsig tätig an den Billardtischen seines Klubs. Am Morgen darauf war er nicht mehr zu finden, und alle Nachforschungen nach ihm blieben erfolglos." Die phantastischen Erzählungen "Dunkles Indien" von Rudyard Kipling zählen neben dem "Dschungelbuch" zu seinen interessantesten Werken und liegen hier in einer ungekürzten Neuausgabe vor.

Die Geschichten von Mogli, der bei Wölfen aufwächst, und seinen Freunden, dem Panther Baghira und dem Bären Balu, zählen zu den bekanntesten Erzählungen der Weltliteratur. Bis heute beflügeln Rudyard Kiplings Dschungelbücher Phantasie und Sehnsucht der Leser, der (ganz) jungen und jugendlichen, der erwachsenen. Denn es ist ein Werk für alle Generationen, das vom Aufwachsen Moglis im Dschungel ebenso erz.hlt wie von Purun Baghat, dem hohen Minister, der eines Tages alles stehen und liegen lässt, um in den Himalaya aufzubrechen und sich den letzten Fragen des Lebens zu stellen.Diese neuaufgelegte Ausgabe folgt, anders als bisherige Übersetzungen, der von Kipling autorisierten »Outward Bound Edition«, in der die Mogli-Geschichten vollständig im ersten Band des Dschungelbuchs versammelt sind, die berühmten anderen Erzählungen wie Rikki-Tikki-Tavi oder Die weiße Robbe im zweiten Teil. Erstmals können die deutschen Leser so den Abenteuern des »Menschenwelpen«. Mogli im Zusammenhang und bis ins Erwachsenenalter als Wildhüter folgen. Um diese Geschichte, Im Rukh, ist diese Edition erweitert.Kiplings überbordende Erzähllust und unübertroffene Erzählkunst hat zahlreiche Schriftsteller beeinflusst und seine Leser immer wieder aufs Neue fasziniert. In seiner Übertragung hält Andreas Nohl dem reichen literarischen Stil Kiplings, in dem sich Altsprachliches mit überraschenden Neuwendungen mischt, die Treue, ohne sich jedoch sklavisch zu unterwerfen.

Joseph Rudyard Kipling (1865 -1936) was an English journalist, short-story writer, poet, and novelist. He was born in India, which inspired much of his work. Kipling's works of fiction include The Jungle Book (1894), Kim (1901), and many short stories, including "The Man Who Would Be King" (1888). His poems include "Mandalay" (1890), "Gunga Din" (1890), "The Gods of the Copybook Headings" (1919), "The White Man's Burden" (1899), and "If-" (1910). He is seen as an innovator in the art of the short story. His children's books are classics; one critic noted "a versatile and luminous narrative gift." Kipling in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was among the United Kingdom's most popular writers.
