Известный сборник рассказов английского писателя на английском языке.
'And India, as every one knows, is divided equally between jungle, tigers, cobras, cholera, and sepoys'
In this collection of short stories Kipling succeeds in shattering such misapprehensions about life in India during the British Raj. Drawing on his own experiences as a cub reporter, he is able to interpret the ways and beliefs as well as the work and pleasures of the Imperial administrators and the races they governed that were half a world away from his original Victorian readers.
Viceroys and beggars, soldiers and their officers, civil servants and children - and some very clever women - all play their parts in the history of a sub-continent. And although everywhere there are barriers between the races, the classes and the sexes, the inevitable misunderstandings between them as often end in comedy as in tragedy.
