【摘要】 英国作家鲁德亚德·吉卜林因为其“精确的观察、独特的想象、雄浑的气势和卓越的叙事能力”而被授予1907年的诺贝尔文学奖。他作为英国第一位获此殊荣的作家，却一直被排斥在主流作家之外。而且由于其特殊的生活经历、作品中较强的说教色彩以及与殖民主义千丝万缕的联系，吉卜林成为英国文坛上最有争议的作家之一。《丛林故事》是其流传最广和影响最大的以动物为题材的短篇小说集，较全面地反应了他的思想与创作主题。表面上这是一部新奇而有趣的动物故事集，但它在吸引一代又一代的青少年读者的同时，也引起了成年读者和评论家一贯的关注。因为在这种表象的背后隐藏着深厚的思想和丰富的内涵。联系吉卜林个人的生活经历和当时英国的时代背景，《丛林故事》有着深刻的文化内涵。作品的主人公狼孩莫格里是徘徊在狼群和人类之间的。他在感情上的矛盾和归属上的无法取舍正是吉卜林自己的真实映照。吉卜林是一位具有边缘人格的异乡人。他正如莫格里般生活在两个甚至多个族群的交界处。这种生活背景和身份定位影响了他作品中的主题思想。即作品中所反映的那种带有理想色彩、具有吉卜林个人特色的文人心中的殖民思想。它以一种新型的殖民者形象为特色，还蕴涵了深刻的生态意识。这种新型的殖民者是吉卜林心中完美的殖民统治者形象，也同样与莫格里以及他本人一样具有边缘人的特色。而其作品中所蕴涵的生态意识和丛林法则是他企图调和一切矛盾的一种理想。更多还原

【Abstract】 In 1907, the Swedish Academy, in consideration of "the power of observation, originality of imagination, virility of ideas and remarkable talent for narration", awarded Rudyard Kipling the Nobel Prize for Literature. Kipling became the first English writer so honoured. Because of his unique life experiences, the strong intention to be didactic and close relation to colonialism, he became one of the most controversial writers in English literature.The Jungle Books which consist of many stories about animals, showing a full scale of his ideas and subject matter of his writing are widespread and influential. They attract the children as well as adult readers and literary critics, for they are filled with not only great originality and interest but abounded insights of the life and the world.With the background of his personal experience and the British Empire then, the thesis aims at digging out its deeper cultural connotations. The protagonist, wolf child Mogli hovered between the wolf and human society. The emotional conflict and the crisis of identity recognition is the real reflection of Kipling himself. He is a stranger as well as a marginal man. Living in the marginal area or at the crossing of two or more social groups, he and Mogli are alike. This living background and identity establishment figures out the subject matter of his works. That is the ideal, personal and literator’s colonialism which is characterized by a new form of colonists and the involving of ecological ideas. In Kipling’s mind, this new type of colonists is the ideal administrator of the colonial world, who shares the same characteristic of marginal man as he and Mogli. While the Law of the Jungle connoted with ecological ideas is his ideal solution to all the social problems.更多还原
