Character History
Stories about the boy brought up by wild animals, familiar with most children of the post-Soviet space. Mowgli, whom the beasts called the little fraternity, conquered the hearts of the audience and readers in progressiveness and courage, a worthy adult.History of creation
The first sketches of the works about the boy, fidgeted by the flocks of wolves, appeared near the Radyard Kipling long before the release of the jungle book. Initially, the stories about Mowgli were not intended for children. In the Cyling Cywood Cyling, "Little Brother" appeared before readers an adult married man who works as a scrubber and in his free time tells others about childhood in the forests of India.
Notes on wild animals fell into the hands of the children's writer Mary Meip Dodge. A woman fascinated the style of the story, and Dodge persuaded Kipling to write something like that for the younger generation. Mary Maip promised to accommodate a story in the children's magazine "Saint Nicholas".
After publishing the first stories, the topic was carried away by the writer, and after a year of small stories about the animal world, there was enough for the release of the book. Then another compilation was followed, in which other well-known works were present in addition to the adventures of Mowgli. But the greatest response was received by the adventures of a young savage.
In 2013, a letter of Radyard Kipling was put on the auction, in which the writer admits that the plugath is at the Jungle Book. Letter, whose addressee is unknown, dated 1895. The message was discovered in a buckinist store:
"It is very likely that I am resorted to borrowing, but now I don't remember whose stories I stole."Story story about Mowgli

Friends and enemies
The main enemy of Mowgli in the "Jungle Book" from the first pages was the evil tiger Sherhan. The predator is dissatisfied that he was deprived of legitimate prey, and all sorts of means trying to destroy a person. At the pickle at the Grozny enemy there is a Shakala tobacco (in other sources - hyena), sometimes annoying even Sherhana:
"And we leave north! And we will leave north! When we return, there will be no one! And even a frog and his bones! "A not less dangerous enemy becomes a flock of red pieces. Bloodthirsty animals are coming to the jungle, despicuous all alive on the way. The only chance to escape is to embark on the fight. Mowgli will combine animal forest around them, and gives fire by an enemy flock.
On the way, monkey-banderlogs rose at the rustling Mowgli. A flock kidnates the hero, but the boy manage to escape. The image of noisy animals has a certain context. Kipling created a parody of the liberal intelligentsia despised by them:
"We are great! We are free! We deserve admiration! Decent admiration, like no people in the jungle! We all say so - it means that this is true! "The main characters who are tuned to Mowgli friendly, mostly predators:
Black Panther Baghir - personification of a genuine warrior. An animal cares about the baby as his young. Panther finds the opportunity to stop the flock of flocks when Aquel decides to leave the boy in the jungle. Baghir is experiencing almost malagli love and protects him from dangers.
Bear Balu - the tutor of the baby, who belongs to the child with a decent care. The method of teaching the bear resembles the methods that are in demand in classical English schools. There is a theory that the ball is a collective image of Kipling teachers. Among the friends of the young savage, the bear is responsible for physical strength.
Kaa Kaa - a wise mentor, teaching Mowgli rules of life in a wild forest. The character is considered the oldest animals in the jungle. The boa with a mockery refers to the tricks of the boy and often saves his life. The slow boa is responsible in Trinity for wisdom.
