Synopsis of the book:
The success of The Jungle Book prompted Rudyard Kipling to write The Second Jungle Book a year later, fortunately a continuation, rather than a second part, of the first book. To a natural society that has achieved harmony and, with it, true freedom thanks to submission to a strict moral and conduct code, the Law of the Jungle, returns Mowgli, the human cub adopted and raised by wolves. Mowgli is not a wild creature, least of all a conventional young man. The hero of these stories symbolizes the difficult but necessary balance between men and the environment in which they, even if they forget it, sink those that make their existence possible.
Biography:
Joseph Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was a British writer and poet, author of great stories, children's stories, novels and poetry, such as The Jungle The Book (1894), the spy novel Kim (1901), the short story "The Man Who Would Be King" ("The Man Who Could Be King", 1888), many of which were made into a movie.
He rejected several awards at the time but in 1907 he accepted and was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, which made him the first British writer to receive this award, and the youngest Nobel Prize winner for Literature to date.
