Orphaned as a baby, human-boy Mowgli is adopted by wolves, befriended by Baloo the bear, and educated in the wonders and dangers of the Indian jungle. But the adventures of The Jungle Book don't end with the young man-cub and his unusual new family. Through tales of Kotick the White Seal, Rikki-tikki-tavi the mongoose, and others, listeners learn about courage and survival, rules and order, principles and morals, coming-of-age, and the thrill of self-discovery. Rudyard Kipling's fables reflect both his childhood in India and his vivid imagination, while exploring the relationship between civilization and the wild.

Extrait : "Touchant la véracité de ce récit, il ne saurait y avoir aucun doute, car il me fut conté par Mulvaney, derrière les lignes des éléphants, par un soir brûlant où nous emmenions promener les chiens pour leur donner de l'exercice. Les douze éléphants du gouvernement se balançaient à leurs piquets devant les vastes écuries aux murs de terre (une voûte, large comme une arche de pont, pour chaque bête remuante) et les mahouts préparaient le repas du soir."À PROPOS DES ÉDITIONS LIGARAN : Les éditions LIGARAN proposent des versions numériques de grands classiques de la littérature ainsi que des livres rares, dans les domaines suivants : • Fiction : roman, poésie, théâtre, jeunesse, policier, libertin. • Non fiction : histoire, essais, biographies, pratiques.

Extrait : "Elle était la fille de Sonoo, un homme des collines de l'Himalaya et de sa femme Jadéh. Une année, leur maïs ne rendit pas et deux ours passèrent la nuit dans leur unique champ de pavots, qui était juste au-dessus de la vallée du Sudledge, sur la rive de Kotgarh. Aussi, à la saison prochaine, ils se firent chrétiens et apportèrent leur bébé à la mission pour le faire baptiser."À PROPOS DES ÉDITIONS LIGARAN : Les éditions LIGARAN proposent des versions numériques de grands classiques de la littérature ainsi que des livres rares, dans les domaines suivants : • Fiction : roman, poésie, théâtre, jeunesse, policier, libertin. • Non fiction : histoire, essais, biographies, pratiques.

Maltraités par l'acariâtre Mme Jenkins, deux orphelins, Dick et Maisie, n'ont guère que leur tendresse comme lueur d'espoir et un rêve commun : devenir peintres. Dick y parvient, devenu célèbre par ses croquis de bataille lors de la guerre du Soudan. Le hasard le fait retrouver Maisie et, au nom de leur amour d'enfance, il lui demande de devenir sa femme. Maisie se dérobe, mais, peintre médiocre obsédée par une réussite artistique qui ne viendra probablement jamais, elle a besoin de Dick, et une étrange relation se noue entre eux. Puis, le drame survient : la lumière s'éteint à jamais pour le peintre qui aimait tant la couleur et le soleil...Premier roman de Kipling, pour lequel il gardera toujours une affection particulière, La Lumière qui s'éteint est une magnifique et tragique histoire, un texte émouvant que nous recommandons à tous.

Paru en 1897 sous le titre Captains Courageous : a Story of the Grand Banks. Mercure de France, 1949. Traduction de Louis Fabulet et Ch. Fountaine-Walker.À quinze ans, Harvey Cheyne possède au suprême degré le don de se rendre antipathique. Les passagers du paquebot sur lequel a pris place ce fils d'un multi-millionnaire américain sont unanimes à lui reprocher son insolence prétentieuse. Harvey tombe par-dessus le bastingage. Est-ce pour lui la fin? Non, c'est le commencement de l'existence. Les hommes du We're Here, géolette britannique que commande le rude, mais bienveillant Disko Troop, se chargent de lui apprendre à vivre, au cours d'une campagne de pêche mouvementée..Capitaines courageux est un roman d'apprentissage dont le didactisme serait irritant s'il n'était tempéré par la délicatesse qui préside aux portraits des personnages. Auprès des marins du Sommes-Ici, Harvey, jeune blanc-bec vaniteux, apprend le sens de la discipline, du mérite et du courage. Les marins ne défient pas les éléments, ils les subissent avec dignité. Des événements tragiques, tels que la folie de Pen ou la mort des marins broyés par des steamers, rappellent à l'homme sa condition de mortel. À bord du Sommes-Ici, le courage ne se mesure pas à l'aune de conquêtes techniques ou guerrières. L'aventure peut se passer d'intrigues compliquées.

L'auteur résume ici une expérience, une double culture, un amour. L'expérience de son enfance en Inde, sa double culture anglo-indienne, son amour de l'enfance. A la fois roman d'espionnage, d'initiation et picaresque, Kim est un roman d'aventures dans la plénitude du terme, porté par un art du récit et un style pittoresque, plein d'humour et de poésie. Le chef d'oeuvre d'un prix Nobel.
