Excerpt from Mine Own People

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This unforgettable collection of tales from the pen of Rudyard Kipling is one of the most remarkable achievements in the canon of English literature. These stories are rich with vivid descriptions of everyday Indian life and customs, told with vividness and unequaled evocative power. Throughout the book, Kipling explores the universal human condition, and its themes are as probing and relevant today as they were when these stories were first written. A master of the short story form, Kipling constructs tales that are complex and beautiful, and that cast a critical eye on the deep complexities of empire, race, and class. This is a compelling and timeless work of fiction that will leave an indelible mark on the reader.
