by Rudyard Kipling The next time someone starts going on about an author "telling" instead of "showing", I'm going to direct them to Rudyard Kipling. There's a reason why it's called telling a story and Kipling does an excellent job of telling us about each of the most important characters that po...
If you're looking for the cutesy tone of the film, or even its recent live-action re-make, look elsewhere, you won't find it here. You might be better off with Winnie-the-Pooh. I had forgotten that several of the tales collected here are not about Mowgli, or the Jungle or even India in some cases ...

The Jungle Book has been on my to-read list for a long time. The Disney film adaptation has always been one of my favourites owing to its unique setting, excellent cast of characters and great soundtrack, (I’m the king of the swingers, oh, the jungle VIP!) and with not one but two new film adaptatio...

And I loved every second of it. The first part took me quite a while to finish, cause I neede...

Niko nije bez neprijatelja! Zašto je zlo, u ovoj knjizi oličeno u Šir Kanu, obavezno predstavljeno kao hromo, grbavo, nagrđeno? Tako se čovek teši da je bar lep, čak i poražen? I zašto se deca uče da telo oslikava dušu, kad prečesto nije tako? Ova i slična pitanja nisu mi dozvolila da pri prvom ...
Rudyard Kipling’s _The Jungle Book_ is an enjoyable read. A collection of short stories, all of which revolve around the lives and troubles of different animals and the people who interact with them, it has a surprising amount of depth coupled with rather pleasant prose. The most famous of these sto...
