Features: The charm of Kipling's Mowgli stories has endured for a century. For today's Chinese readers, democracy and the rule of law must be emphasized politically, and ecological balance must be maintained environmentally. Therefore, the animal world that strictly adheres to the "Jungle Laws" will also offer us enlightenment. In the current world, environmental pollution, deforestation, and endless public hazards prevail, while robots areed in books and television programs. In this context, the publication of the Mowgli stories translation is undoubtedly a perfect panacea. This book fully showcases the strengths of Kipling as a poet and novelist. It is rich in both prose and poetry, with an introductory poem before each story and a song afterward, highlighting the themes and serving as a vivid touch. The poems are simple yet resonant, perfectly complementing the thrilling and moving stories. The translator has strived to preserve the original rhythm and style in translating these poems. The translation of this book primarily adopts a literal approach, as Kipling, while translating animal and bird languages into human language, often uses words that represent the perspectives of the animals. Therefore, attention was paid to this aspect during the translation.
