El libro de las tierras vírgenes

Name: El libro de las tierras vírgenes
Author: Rudyard Kipling

Una serie de relatos ambientados en la selva que siguen principalmente a un niño humano criado por lobos —Mowgli— mientras aprende y enfrenta las leyes y peligros del lugar, incluyendo encuentros con tigres, serpientes y otras bestias. Otros cuentos paralelos narran aventuras de animales y humanos —como la mangosta Rikki-tikki-tavi y la historia de un joven vinculado a los elefantes— y alternan fábulas, canciones y descripciones naturales. Temas recurrentes son la pertenencia entre especies, la ley y el honor en la comunidad animal, la tensión entre mundo humano y selva y la supervivencia vista con mezcla de crueldad y ternura.
