Описание: This collection brings together seventeen of Kipling`s early stories, written between 1885 and 1888, when Kipling was working as a journalist in India. Wry comedies of British officialdom alternate with glimpses into the harsh lives of the common soldiers and the Indian poor, revealing Kipling`s legendary powers of observation and, in `Baa Baa, Black Sheep` his own miserable childhood. From Mrs Hauksbee`s Simla drawing-room to Mulvaney`s cot in barracks, to the wild hills of Kafiristan, Kipling re-creates the India he knew in stories by turns ironic and sentimental, compassionate and bitter, displaying the brilliance that has captivated readersfor over a century.
