About this audiobook
The World has always yearned for creation stories. We cannot hope to know where we are going if we do not know from where we came.
Rudyard Kipling’s whimsical tales of the origins of, amongst others, the tides, the Elephant’s trunk, the Leopard’s spots and the Cat’s stubborn independance still give as much satisfaction as when he first told them to his young daughter Josephine, using the childish pronunciations and words that she insisted upon being “just so”.
Narrated by Simon Hester. With original music.
Author
Rudyard Kipling
Rudyard Kipling, né en 1865 à Bombay, est l'un des auteurs les plus célèbres de la littérature anglaise. Il a passé une grande partie de son enfance en Inde, une expérience qui a profondément influencé son oeuvre. Kipling est surtout connu pour ses récits sur l'Inde coloniale, dont "Le Livre de la jungle" et "Le Second Livre de la jungle", qui ont captivé des générations de lecteurs avec leurs personnages mémorables et leurs paysages exotiques. Lauréat du prix Nobel de littérature en 1907, Kipling est reconnu pour son style narratif unique et sa capacité à tisser des histoires intemporelles. Outre ses oeuvres de fiction, il a également écrit des poèmes et des nouvelles qui reflètent sa vision du monde et ses préoccupations sociales. Kipling est décédé en 1936, laissant derrière lui un héritage littéraire qui continue d'inspirer et de fasciner.
