'The Jungle Books' can be regarded as classic stories told by an adult to children. But they also constitute a complex literary work of art in which the whole of Kipling's philosophy of life is expressed in miniature. They are best known for the 'Mowgli' stories; the tale of a baby abandoned and brought up by wolves, educated in the ways and secrets of the jungle by Kaa the python, Baloo the bear, and Bagheera the black panther. The stories, a mixture of fantasy, myth, and magic, are underpinned by Kipling's abiding preoccupation with the theme of self-discovery, and the nature of the 'law'.

Un tigre du Bengale, qui barbote anxieusement dans une petite piscine en plastique durant l'ete et que l'on nourrit de viande de supermarche, est-il toujours un tigre? En examinant l'existence troublee d'animaux reputes sauvages, mais vivant desormais de conditions domestiques et artificielles puissantes, ce livre pose la double question de la communication et de l'animalite. La vie accidentee de ces animaux trafiques transpire nos changements ecologiques actuels, incarne la disparition vertigineuse d'especes animales et renvoie à la deterioration acceleree d'habitats naturels. Dans ce livre, on decouvre des biographies animales, comme celle d'un chimpanze cobaye (Rachel) evoluant dans un sanctuaire evangelisateur ou encore, celle d'un dauphin (Nellie) au "chômage", mis aux encheres apres la faillite du parc d'attraction qui l'a vu naître et grandir. Mises en resonance, chacune de ces biographies compose un veritable bestiaire d'êtres qui pourraient sembler provenir d'histoires fictives abracadabrantesques et qui, pourtant, sont tout sauf imaginaires. Voilà qui permet de reposer, autrement, la vieille question de l'espece.
