" DANS le nord de l¿Inde il y avait un monastère appelé la Chubara de Dhunni Bhagat. Personne ne se rappelait rien concernant ce Dhunni Bhagat. Il avait passé sa vie à gagner un peu d¿argent et l¿avait entièrement dépensé, comme tout bon Hindou devrait faire, à une ¿uvre pie : la Chubara. Ce monastère était plein de cellules de brique, où s¿étalaient en couleurs claires des images de dieux, de rois et d¿éléphants, et où des prêtres épuisés par les macérations restaient à méditer sur les fins dernières des choses ; les allées étaient pavées de briques, et les pieds nus des milliers de pèlerins y avaient creusé des sillons. Des touffes de manguiers avaient surgi d¿entre les briques, de grands pipals ombrageaient le treuil du puits qui grinçait tout le long du jour, et des hordes de perroquets jacassaient dans les branchages. Écureuils et corbeaux étaient familiers en ce lieu, car ils savaient que jamais un prêtre ne les toucherait."

" La porte du fumoir exposée au vent venait de rester ouverte au brouillard de l¿Atlantique Nord, tandis que le grand paquebot roulait et tanguait, en sifflant pour avertir la flottille de pêche.« Ce petit Cheyne, c¿est la peste du bord, » dit, en fermant la porte d¿un coup de poing, un homme en pardessus velu et frisé. « On n¿en a nul besoin ici. Il est par trop impertinent. »Un Allemand à cheveux blancs avança la main pour prendre un sandwich et grommela entre ses dents :« C¿est une esbèce que che gonnais. L¿Amérique en est bleine de tout bareils. Che fous tis que vous tefriez gomprendre les bouts de corde gratis tans fotre tarif. »¿ Peuh ! Il n¿est pas mauvais au fond. Il est plutôt à plaindre qüautre chose, dit d¿une voix traînante un habitant de New-York, lequel gisait étendu de tout son long sur les coussins, au-dessous de la claire-voie humide. On l¿a toujours traîné de tous côtés, d¿hôtel en hôtel, depuis sa sortie de nourrice. Je causais avec sa mère ce matin. C¿est une femme charmante, mais qui n¿a aucune prétention à le diriger. Il va en Europe achever son éducation."

" Il s¿appelait Charlie Mears ; fils unique de sa mère, laquelle était veuve, il habitait le nord de Londres, d¿où il venait chaque jour à la Cité travailler dans unebanque. Il avait vingt ans et débordait d¿aspirations. Je le rencontrai dans un « billiard saloon »[1] où le marqueur l¿appelait par son petit nom, tandis qüil appelait le marqueur « Bull¿s eye ». Charlie m¿expliqua, un peu nerveusement, qüil n¿était venu là que pour regarder ; et, comme ce n¿est point un amusement bon marché pour lesjeunes gens que de regarder les jeux d¿adresse, je suggérai que Charlie ferait mieux de retourner chez sa mère."

Wer kennt nicht den Wolfsjungen Mogli und seine Freunde, den klugen Panther Baghira und Balu, den schläfrigen braunen Bären, oder die Pythonschlange Kaa und Moglis größten Feind, den Tiger Schir Khan? Spätestens seit Walt Disneys wunderbarem Zeichentrickfilm ist Kiplings Abenteuergeschichte eines der populärsten Jugendbücher der Welt. Gerade diese scheinbare Bekanntheit aber lenkt den Blick von dem literarischen Meisterwerk ab, das wie kein zweites die Exotik des Dschungels und die Faszination Indiens beschwört.Mit dem Werkbeitrag aus Kindlers Literatur Lexikon.Mit Daten zu Leben und Werk, exklusiv verfasst von der Redaktion der Zeitschrift für Literatur TEXT + KRITIK.

Maltraités par l'acariâtre Mme Jenkins, deux orphelins, Dick et Maisie, n'ont guère que leur tendresse comme lueur d'espoir et un rêve commun: devenir peintres. Dick y parvient, devenu célèbre par ses croquis de bataille lors de la guerre du Soudan. Le hasard le fait retrouver Maisie et, au nom de leur amour d'enfance, il lui demande de devenir sa femme. Maisie se dérobe, mais, peintre médiocre obsédée par une réussite artistique qui ne viendra probablement jamais, elle a besoin de Dick, et une étrange relation se noue entre eux. Puis, le drame survient: la lumière s'éteint à jamais pour le peintre qui aimait tant la couleur et le soleil... Premier roman de Kipling, pour lequel il gardera toujours une affection particulière, est une magnifique et tragique histoire, un texte émouvant que nous recommandons à tous.

Rudyard Kipling's 1897 book Captains Courageous chronicles the exploits of fifteen-year-old Harvey Cheyne Jr., the privileged son of a railroad magnate, who is saved from drowning in the North Atlantic by a Portuguese fisherman. The novel was first published in McClure's as a serial in the November 1896 issue, with the final episode appearing in May 1897. The full work was then released that year as a novel, first by Doubleday in the United States and then by Macmillan a month later in the United Kingdom. It is the only book by Kipling that is totally set in North America. Teddy Roosevelt praised the book and Kipling for "depicting in the liveliest fashion just what a boy should be and do" in his essay "What We Can Expect of the American Kid" from 1900. The title was originally used by Kipling for a piece about merchants as the new adventurers that appeared in The Times on November 23, 1892. The privileged son of a powerful railroad tycoon in California is Harvey Cheyne Jr. from a transatlantic steamer washed overboard, and the crew of the We're Here saved him. Excellent cod fishing tales that include mention of New England whaling, 19th-century steam, sailing, and the cod fishery.

Rudyard Kipling's book Stalky & Co. is about young men attending a British boarding school. Three young main characters in this collection of school stories have a smug, cynical attitude toward authority and patriotism. After the stories were featured in periodicals for the preceding two years, it was first published in 1899.Part I of ""Slaves of the Lamp."" Mr. King interrupts the three boys while they are practicing a pantomime of ""Aladdin"" because he has discovered jokes Beetle wrote about him. When the younger child who taught King the poems is there, he drags Beetle into his study and corrects him. Stalky gets an intoxicated carter to throw stones at King by shooting him with a catapult. In ""An Unsavoury Interlude,"" Mr. King makes fun of Beetle for once being frightened to take a bath in the ocean, which causes the boys from Mr. King's house to call the boys from Mr. Prout's house ""stinkers.""Many lads take part eagerly in order to train for their future professions as military officers. But when a member of parliament is asked to speak at the school on ""patriotism,"" he angers the lads by raising the Union Jack. The cadet corps left the next morning under Stalky's leadership. The majority of Kipling's characters, who are now about thirty, are soldiers or civil officials in India.

Barrack-Room Ballads is a compilation of Rudyard Kipling's songs and poems that predominantly uses a local dialect and focuses on the late Victorian British Army. The collection contains some of Kipling's most well-known poems, including "Gunga Din," "Tommy," "Mandalay," and "Danny Deever," which helped him gain early recognition as a poet. The first poems were published in the Scots Observer during the first half of 1890, and a compilation of them, Barrack-Room Ballads and Other Verses was published in 1892. Later, Kipling brought it up again in a book of poetry named The Seven Seas. Ballads can be considered to be a subset of The Five Nations (1903), which also contained a number of extra uncollected poems and the third group of Boer War vernacular Army poetry titled "Service Songs.'' The main collection of Kipling's Ballads was published in the 1890s, in two volumes. The third group of poems, published in 1903, continued the theme of military vernacular ballads. The Ballads were first collected in one volume by Charles Carrington in 1973. Many of Kipling's short stories began with a little poem that was frequently referred to as a "Barrack-Room Ballad."

Rudyard Kipling's collection of short stories is titled The Day's Work. The Day's Work does not contain any poetry in between the several stories, unlike many of Kipling's previous collections. The general subject is one of labour and struggle, whether it is constructing a bridge, combating a famine, or watching horses give it their all to win a polo match. However, the literary style is frequently lighthearted, if not outright impish. He enjoys mimicking accents or making up conversations between horses, ponies, and even trains.On the farm, salting time is on a Sunday afternoon, and we take care of the animals as usual. The red oxen, Dave and Pete, are attended to first; they remain in the home meadow in preparation for labour on Monday. The cows follow, followed by Pan the calf, who survived due to his demeanour. The horses, which are dispersed throughout the Back Pasture's 70 acres, come last. Last month, the Dimbula, a brand-new steamer, docked in the High and Narrow Seas with cargo intended for New York. Since the days of Lieutenant-Fireworker Humphrey Chinn of the Bombay European Regiment, who aided with the conquest of Seringapatam in 1799, there has always been at least one representative of the Devonshire Chinns in or close to India.

Bravos marinheiros conta a história de um garoto de quinze anos chamado Harvey Cheyne Jr., filho mimado de um rico magnata ferroviário. Ele está em um transatlântico com destino à Europa quando cai no mar e é resgatado por um grupo de pescadores de bacalhau no Atlântico Norte. O rapaz insiste para ser levado de volta ao porto, prometendo uma recompensa em dinheiro, mas eles se recusam a fazê-lo. Depois de um desentendimento com o capitão, Harvey é obrigado a se juntar à tripulação e trabalhar como pescador pelo resto da viagem. Sob a tutela do rude grupo de pescadores e com a ajuda de Dan, o filho do capitão, Harvey precisa rever suas atitudes de ¿menino rico mimadö para conseguir o respeito da tripulação. Com sua habitual mistura de humor e aventura, Rudyard Kipling ¿ imortalizado pelos célebres O livro da selva e O homem que queria ser rei ¿ constrói aqui uma das histórias do mar mais amadas da literatura, adaptada diversas vezes para teatro, TV e cinema, inspirando gerações de leitores a buscar os valores fundamentais do início da vida adulta.

'Under the Deodars' is a collection of short stories by Rudyard Kipling and printed in 1889. These stories illustrating British life in Shimla and similar regions around India during the British rule. This book has consist of eight short stories: The Education of Otis Yeere, At the Pit's Mouth, A Wayside Comedy, The Hill of Illusion, A Second-Rate Woman, Only a Subaltern, In the Matter of a Private, The Enlightenments of Pagett. M.P. In the first story, The Education of Otis Yeere, a brief look into how the smart, bored wives of government officials in India dealt with their boredom by fertilizing fortunes of hapless men from the rank and life. 'At the Pit's Mouth' is a tragic warning against conducting infidelities in a graveyard. 'A Wayside Comedy' is similar example against conducting adulteries in a hidden little circle, and 'The Hill of Illusion' rounds off a loose tripartition, with a deficient dialogue between nervous womanizer. The next two stories are based in the camps, both ending in death. 'Only a Subaltern' features a motivating young officer who goes beyond the call of duty for his men, then 'In the Matter of a Private' is a case of threatening where the worm turns. The final story 'The Enlightenments of Pagett, M.P.', is the one to look at the India question as a whole and is primarily an exercise in informing the good people back home that they don't understand a thing about the country.

Puck of Pook's Hill is a short stories composition written by Rudyard Kipling. The composition of these fantasy stories, was first published, in 1906. In these short stories Puck, a magical Faun narrates British history, covering different periods to two children Dan and his sister Una. Pucks magic is amazing, he brings fantasy and history into the children's everyday world. He introduces characters from English history, Roman cavalier, old Christian pagan Gods and various other stories about Vikings, pirates, killer apes, smugglers fairies etc. Through his breadth of imagination author narrates beauty, comedy and tragedy of life. He also gives a vivid picture of war, politics, adventure, clash of conquerors and settlers of the region. Kipling depicts in these stories that honour is more important than pride and loyalty more important than gain. He says good craftsmanship, valour and daring spirit are valued. These stories are interspersed with beautiful poems composed by Kipling. By these stories Kipling inspires the youths to think for their motherland and show their love and respect.

'The Story of the Gadsbys' is a story by Rudyard Kipling and it was first printed in India in 1888. This is a short book written as a play. It pursues the young captain who is getting married, and each scene represents the different stages of the marriage. This book is written almost entirely in dialogue form. It shows a collection of eight very short stories written in melodramatic form and entitled: 'Poor Dear Mamma', 'The World Without', 'The Tents of Kedar', 'With any Amazement', 'The Garden of Eden', 'Fatima', 'The Valley of the Shadow', 'The Swelling of Jordan'. The most important characters of these short dramatic scenes are Captain Vasant and Miss D., along with the setting and the events described in these scenes are modern one, that are much closer to a comedy of manners. Though the plots of these scenes are not clear and consistent and the main theme dealt with this is related to family relations, manners and social classes. First printed in the Indian Railway Library as no. 2. These eight stories are in dramatic form with a final poem in four verses.

'Traffics and Discoveries' is a composition of 11 short stories and 11 poems written by Rudyard Kipling, published in 1904. It is a good composition of several short stories related with Boer War Period. In Bore War Indian Army was not involved because it was considerably white man's war. Presently, these stories related with war period seem outdated. But infact these stories show Kipling's vision of a reformer to reform British army. These stories give a terrific picture of British concentration camps and their inhuman behaviour to war prisoners. This depiction demoralise the native citizens. In his stories he also message that to safeguard the glory of British empire proper perpetual control and attentiveness is needed. War is a serious matter it should be dealt sincerely and execute benevolently. Stories related with new discoveries, science and technology are most significant like the car, the radio and electric power. Kipling showed his good knowledge of science and technology, he used terms and references related with new gadgets, army, navy, artillery, ships, wireless and car etc. Few stories are also based on fantasy and supernatural world.

'Soldiers Three' is a short stories composition written by Rudyard Kipling. It has three sections which were previously published in separate sections. Learoyd, Mulvaney and Ortheris are the three soldiers - an Irish man, a Yorkshire man and a Londoner. These stories disclose soldiers life in Afghanistan and British policies rarely seen earlier to maintain British influence. These soldiers convey the raw fact of the war, in the mid-east as the British began to loosen their imperial hold. The characters about whom the stories are concerned are native Indians, rather than the British for writing about whom Kipling may be better known. The stories are good for those readers who enjoy history theater, short works of fiction and historical fiction. The play on Gadsby is the main justifying element of this book. This story of Gadsby is written in melodramatic form, comprising of eight short scenes. This short narration of 100 pages, was later collected in book form as the second part of Soldiers Three. Four of the stories are explained by the Indians, and four by an English journalist.

'The Seven Seas' is a book of poetry by Rudyard Kipling printed in 1896. The Seven Seas was one of Rudyard Kipling's accomplishments. Its poems effect the promise of the title page promoting a stormlashed, oilskin-clad sailor at the wheel. This was Kipling's first poetry collection since the smash hit 'Barrack Room Ballads' of 1892. It is splitted into two sections: 20 of the 34 poems in the first half are directly concerned with ships, sailors, and all but five of the others deal with the related topics of travel, communications technology and connections across space and/or time while further 'Barrack Room Ballads' conclude with the homeward-bound soldier of 'For to admire' considering an amazingly calm 'Injian Ocean'. The main theme of The Seven Seas is the global range of the British Empire, its regions divided by thousands of miles of salt water yet consolidated by the ships of the Royal Navy, the merchant fleet and the liners carrying their travellers between the continents. Numbers 1-25 are separate poems, all linked by the ideas of the sea and more or less specifically the British Empire. 'A Song of the English' is the longest poem, at around 20 pages. The Seven Seas celebrates British imperialism. It is a sharp, disenchanted series of poems centred on Britain's role in colonialism and Empire building with reverberations and powerful imagery.

Just So Stories is a 1902 collection of origin stories by the British author Rudyard Kipling. Considered a classic of children's literature, the book is among Kipling's best known works.These are some of the stories Kipling made up for his children. They are called 'Just So' because he told them again and again, and the children always wanted them to be told just the same.
