The Jungle Book

Rudyard Kipling

Beschreibung

"Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky."

Enter the Seoni region of India, where a "man-cub" named Mowgli is raised by a pack of wolves. Under the watchful eyes of the wise black panther Bagheera and the sleepy brown bear Baloo, Mowgli learns the strict codes of conduct that keep the wild in balance. But the jungle is a place of peril; the tiger Shere Khan seeks the boy's life, and the lawless Bandar-log monkeys threaten the peace. Beyond the Mowgli stories, Kipling takes readers across the globe—from the heroic stand of a mongoose in Rikki-Tikki-Tavi to the frozen bravery of a white seal. These are timeless tales of courage, duty, and finding one's place in an unforgiving world.

The "Man-Cub" Dilemma: The core of the book is Mowgli's struggle between his human nature and his lupine upbringing. Kipling expertly handles the tragedy of a boy who is "too human for the wolves and too wild for the humans," exploring the universal theme of searching for an identity that spans two worlds.

The Philosophy of the Wild: Unlike many animal stories, Kipling's creatures are not mere caricatures. They live by the Law of the Jungle, a rigorous moral and physical code that emphasizes the strength of the pack over the individual. It is a philosophy that has been studied for over a century as a reflection of human social and political systems.

Why It Is a Global Masterpiece: The Jungle Book remains an essential read because of its rhythmic, hypnotic prose and its deep respect for nature. It is an adventure that satisfies the imagination while posing serious questions about civilization, tradition, and what it truly means to be "free."

Prison of a Billion Years

C. H. Thames

Prison of a Billion Years by	C.H. Thames - Adam Slade was a man who had nothing to lose by making a break for it. The trouble was, he knew that no one had ever escaped from the—Prison of a Billion Years 
Adam Slade crushed the guard's skull with a two foot length of iron pipe. No one ever knew where Slade got the iron pipe, but it did not seem so important. 
The guard was dead. That was important. 
And Slade was on the loose. With a hostage. 
That was even more important. 
The hostage's name was Marcia Lawrence. She was twenty-two years old and pretty and scared half out of her wits. She was, before she became a hostage, a reporter for Interplanetary Video. She had been granted the final pre-execution interview with Adam Slade and she had looked forward to it a long time but it had not worked out as planned. 
It had not worked out as planned because Slade, only hours from the execution chamber with absolutely nothing to lose, had splattered the guard's brains around the inside of his cell and marched outside with a frightened Marcia Lawrence. 
Outside. Outside the cell block while other condemned prisoners roared and shouted and banged tin cups on bars and metal walls and judas-hole-grills. Outside the prison compound and across the dome-enclosed city which served the prison. 
Then outside the dome.
