Hungarian Description:

"Hallgass, várj és figyelj: ez az eset akkor esett, édes gyermekem, amikor a háziállatok még vadak voltak. Vad volt a kutya, vad a ló, a tehén, a juh, és vad volt a disznó - vadabb már nem is lehetett -, s ott járkáltak a ringó-rengő rengetegben a maguk vad csapásain. De minden vadállatok legvadabbika a macska volt. Magányosan kószált, s minden hely egyforma volt neki." - Így kezdi bűbájos meséjét Kipling a macskáról, amelyben elmeséli, miképpen szelídült a házhoz a macska. De ez a varázslás csak félig sikerült, "mert ha a hold felkél, s leszáll az éjszaka, ismét csak az a macska, aki magányosan sétál, s akinek minden hely egyforma. Ilyenkor aztán kiszökik a ringó-rengő rengetegbe, vagy a nyirkos, vad fákra vagy a nyirkos, vad háztetőkre, s vad farkát csóválva járkál a maga vad csapásain."
A mesét Jékely Zoltán költői fordításában, Szántó Piroska illusztrációival nyújtjuk át a kis olvasóknak.

 

English description:

Just So Stories for Little Children is a 1902 collection of origin stories by the British author Rudyard Kipling. Considered a classic of children's literature, the book is among Kipling's best known works.

Kipling began working on the book by telling the first three chapters as bedtime stories to his daughter Josephine. These had to be told "just so" (exactly in the words she was used to) or she would complain. The stories describe how one animal or another acquired its most distinctive features, such as how the leopard got his spots. For the book, Kipling illustrated the stories himself.

The stories have appeared in a variety of adaptations including a musical and animated films. Evolutionary biologists have noted that what Kipling did in fiction in a Lamarckian way, they have done in reality, providing Darwinian explanations for the evolutionary development of animal features.

 

About the Author:

Joseph Rudyard Kipling was a journalist, short-story writer, poet, and novelist.
Kipling's works of fiction include The Jungle Book (1894), Kim (1901), and many short stories, including The Man Who Would Be King (1888). His poems include Mandalay (1890), Gunga Din (1890), The Gods of the Copybook Headings (1919), The White Man's Burden (1899), and If— (1910). He is regarded as a major innovator in the art of the short story; his children's books are classics of children's literature; and one critic described his work as exhibiting "a versatile and luminous narrative gift".
