Just So Stories [MultiFormat]
by Rudyard Kipling
|
|
How did the camel get his hump? Why won't cats do as they are told? Who invented reading and writing? How did an inquisitive little elephant change the lives of elephants everywhere? Kipling's imagined answers to such questions draw on the beast fables he heard as a child in India, as well as on folk games with language, exploring the relationships between thought, speech, and the written word.

The Jungle Book [MultiFormat]
by Rudyard Kipling

The Jungle Books can be regarded as classic stories told by an adult to children. But they also constitute a complex literary work of art in which the whole of Kipling's philosophy of life is expressed in miniature. They are best known for the 'Mowgli' stories; the tale of a baby abandoned and brought up by wolves, educated in the ways and secrets of the jungle by Kaa the python, Baloo the bear, and Bagheera the black panther.

Soldiers Three [Part 1 of 2] [MultiFormat]

This is a collection of tales about India under British rule during the 1880-1890s. Unlike many such tales, it is entirely human--that is, Kipling writes about people under those conditions, and moreso about ordinary people. He isn't a lapdog of fame, catering to governors and kings and bureaucrats by putting their names in print. He prefers common people. And he doesn't hound around trying to pholosophize about the cultures; he writes about people living in India and their all too human frailti... more info>> 1888

The Jungle Book [Secure Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader]
by Rudyard Kipling
|
|
It was seven o'clock of a very warm evening in the Seeonee hills when Father Wolf woke up from his day's rest, scratched himself, yawned, and spread out his paws one after the other to get rid of the sleepy feeling in their tips. Mother Wolf lay with her big gray nose dropped across her four tumbling, squealing cubs, and the moon shone into the mouth of the cave where they all lived. Augrh! said Father Wolf. 2005

Filled with lyrical, exotic prose and nostalgia for Rudyard Kipling's native India, Kim is widely acknowledged as the author's greatest novel and a key element in his winning the 1907 Nobel Prize in Literature. It is the tale of an orphaned sahib and the burdensome fate that awaits him when he is unwittingly dragged into the Great Game of Imperialism. During his many adventures, he befriends a sage old Tibetan lama who transforms his life. As Pankaj Mishra asserts in his Introduction, "To read t... more info>>
