Biografía del autor
RUDYARD KIPLING was born in Bombay on December 30th 1865, son of John Lockwood Kipling, an artist and teacher of architectural sculpture, and his wife Alice. His mother was one of the talented and beautiful Macdonald sisters, four of whom married remarkable men, Sir Edward Burne-Jones, Sir Edward Poynter, Alfred Baldwin, and John Lockwood Kipling himself. Young Rudyard's earliest years in Bombay were blissfully happy, in an India full of exotic sights and sounds. But at the tender age of five he was sent back to England to stay with a foster family in Southsea, where he was desperately unhappy. The experience would colour some of his later writing. When he was twelve he went to the United Services College at Westward Ho! near Bideford, where the Headmaster, Cormell Price, a friend of his father and uncles, fostered his literary ability. Stalky & Co., based on those schooldays, has been much relished by generations of schoolboys. Despite poor eyesight which handicapped him on the games field, he began to blossom. In 1882, aged sixteen, he returned to Lahore, where his parents now lived, to work on the Civil and Military Gazette , and later on its sister paper the Pioneer in Allahabad. In his limited spare time he wrote many remarkable poems and stories which were published alongside his reporting. When these were collected and published as books, they formed the basis of his early fame.
Reseña del editor
The Jungle Book (1894) is a collection of stories by British Nobel laureate Rudyard Kipling. The Jungle Book stories were first published in magazines in 1893–94. The original publications contain illustrations, some by Rudyard's 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-half years. The Jungle Book stories were written when Kipling lived in Vermont. 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.

Hardback. Condición: Fair. Kincaid, Eric Ilustrador. Rights sold to: China (Horizon Media), Germany (Fischer), Greece (Potamos), Hungary (Europa), Israel (Resling), Italy (Guanda), Korea (Sol), Norway (Engelstad), Romania (Nemira), Serbia (Stylos), Taiwan (Ecus), Vietnam (Thai Ha)Eleven voices, eleven characters recount the end of a love story.How did it happen? Irritation, indifferent kisses, conflicts, romances that are failures from the start: all in all, the couple is unveiled, without the prop of fiction.This is a depiction of the couple ripped apart and in pain, when you cannot stand each other anymore; when you have stopped dreaming together; when you are about to break-up. You start explaining the situation to the children. Or you think you can catch up the lost time and you shut your mouth to avoid creating irreversible damages.The end of love is also the disappearance of the loved one, the person you talk to in the dark and without whom you loose your sense of place.These are familiar stories, where we find again the small bargains, the disillusions, as well as the violence that one experiences in such situations. These are tales of ordinary lives, from women and men as they launch into the old adventure of love. Sparse and intense, in the vein of Brigitte Giraud's celebrated style, this radical and deeply affecting book testifies to the author's unique ability to convey the fragility of beings, and offers a lucid and critical account of life as a couple.Brigitte Giraud was born in Algeria in 1960. She has worked as a journalist as well as a book keeper. She is programming director of the Festival of Bron, an important literary event taking place in the region of Lyon where she now resides. She has written four novels, La Chambre des parents (Fayard, 1997), Nico (Stock, 1999), Mar e noire (Stock, 2004), J'apprends (Stock, 2005), and a novella, pr sent (Stock, 2001).
