Kipling fue la voz del Imperio Británico. Desvanecido el Imperio, se desvaneció también el bardo que lo cantó y que al final de su vida comprendía que las cosas acaban. Este escritor durante mucho tiempo apoyo algo contra lo que despues lucho. Los cuentos de Kipling son modelos de arte narrativo, de movimiento, de concision y de energia expresiva. Al paso de los años, como todo clasico, no han perdido su poder de sugerencia. El libro de las tierras virgenes refleja en gran parte el mundo de la niñez de Kipling. Se retrajo a las luces, los colores, las formas, olores y sonidos de su infancia en la India. Sus escritos ejercen una atraccion que va mas alla del cuento para niños y muchachos, mas alla de la fabula y la intencion didactica. A diferencia de otras fabulas o de otros relatos de aventuras, poseen una cualidad misteriosa, una virtud que se escapa a la deteccion filologica.

"The Jungle Book" (1894) is a collection of stories by English author Rudyard Kipling. The stories were first published in magazines in 189394. The original publications contain illustrations, some by Rudyards father, John Lockwood Kipling. Kipling was born in India and spent the first six years of his childhood there. After about ten years in England, he went back to India and worked there for about six-and-a-half years. These stories were written when Kipling lived in Vermont. There is evidence that it was written for his daughter Josephine, who died in 1899 aged six, after a rare first edition of the book with a poignant handwritten note by the author to his young daughter was discovered at the National Trusts Wimpole Hall in Cambridgeshire in 2010.The tales in the book (and also those in "The Second Jungle Book" which followed in 1895, and which includes five further stories about Mowgli) are fables, using animals in an anthropomorphic manner to give moral lessons. The verses of "The Law of the Jungle", for example, lay down rules for the safety of individuals, families and communities. Kipling put in them nearly everything he knew or "heard or dreamed about the Indian jungle." Other readers have interpreted the work as allegories of the politics and society of the time. The best-known of them are the three stories revolving around the adventures of an abandoned "man cub" Mowgli who is raised by wolves in the Indian jungle. The most famous of the other stories are probably "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi", the story of a heroic mongoose, and "Toomai of the Elephants", the tale of a young elephant-handler. As with much of Kiplings work, each of the stories is preceded by a piece of verse, and succeeded by another.
