| Summary |
"El libro de las tierras vírgenes" by Rudyard Kipling is a collection of stories written in the late 19th century. This work is best known for its tales that revolve around the adventures of Mowgli, a human boy raised by wolves in the Indian jungle, and the various animal characters that he encounters. The stories explore themes of identity, nature, and the law of the jungle, effectively weaving a rich tapestry of moral and ethical lessons. At the start of the book, Mowgli is introduced as a young boy discovered by a wolf pack in the jungle of Seeonee after he becomes separated from his human family. The narrative begins with the interactions of Mowgli's wolf parents and the complications arising from the presence of the fearsome tiger Shere Khan, who demands the boy for himself. As Mowgli integrates into wolf life, he learns the ways of the jungle under the guidance of his mentors, Baloo the bear and Bagheera the panther. The opening establishes the foundational conflict between Mowgli's human origins and the laws of the jungle, foreshadowing his future struggles for acceptance and survival among wild creatures.
