Résumé

"Rudyard Kipling died in 1936. In one of his last poetic pleas, the brilliant creator of ""The Jungle Book"" invited readers to take another look at his fantastic tales in order to find all the answers regarding the destiny of man. As a great admirer of ""The Jungle Book,"" Stephen Desberg has always sought to understand why humanity has been expanding--and growing up--all too quickly. What if Mowgli knew the answer? The little boy of the jungle has now become a grandfather, and Desberg finds him on a train station platform, about to get on a train back to the jungle of his youth, his mind whirring with childhood memories. The aged Mowgli reflects on the landscapes of his boyhood, razed and destroyed by the modern world. The Free People, the wolves, have long since disappeared, but in his soul Mowgli has never forgotten them."

T1 The Last Jungle Book

(9)

Just outside Delhi, the capital of India, a man called Mowgli rents a house on the outskirts of the jungle, where he plans to live out the rest of his days. The forest is not nearly as vast as it once was, but the air, the trees and the hills still retain a thousand memories: the cries of birds long departed, the calls of brother wolves that have since died off, the rage of a jealous tiger... For Mowgli, the jungle is the stomping ground of his childhood and his path to adolescence, including the undeniable need to grow up and leave it. For Mowgli, it is time to rediscover the jungle so as to prevent the world of men from stealing away his innocence and his illusions. For this man growing ever older, these memories take him back to a time when all he had to do was learn, and not yet pay the price of his mistakes...
