Mother Wolf lay with her big gray nose dropped across her four tumbling, squealing cubs, and the moon shone into the mouth of the cave where they all lived. "Augrh!" said Father Wolf. "It is time to hunt again." He was going to spring down hill when a little shadow with a bushy tail crossed the threshold and whined: "Good luck go with you, O Chief of the Wolves. And good luck and strong white teeth go with noble children that they may never forget the hungry in this world." It was the jackal - Tabaqui, the Dish - licker - and the wolves of India despise Tabaqui because he runs about making mischief, and telling tales, and eating rags and pieces of leather from the village rubbish-heaps.{

Autorenporträt
Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was a British author and poet best known for his works set in India, including The Jungle Book, Kim and Plain Tales from the Hills. Born in Bombay, British India, Kipling spent the first six years of his life in India before being sent to England to attend boarding school. His experiences of being torn between two cultures would later inform his writing, particularly in depiction of colonialism and its impact on both the colonized and the colonizers. Kipling began his writing career as a journalist, working for several newspapers in India and later in England. He quickly gained popularity for his vivid descriptions of life in India and his ability to capture the complexities of the region's diverse cultures. Kipling's first major literary success came with the publication of Plain Tales from the Hills (1888), a collection of short stories set in British India that showcased his gift for storytelling. However, it was Kipling's children's literature that would bring him international fame and acclaim. The Jungle Book, a collection of short stories and poems about animals in the Indian jungle, was published in 1894 and remains one of his most famous works. The book was an immediate success, and its enduring popularity has inspired numerous adaptations, including films, television series and stage productions.
