Am Ende der Fahrt

Rudyard Kipling

This volume is not a single short story but a collection of Kipling’s tales of India. Alongside the title story, in which heat and isolation test four British men, it includes “Naboth,” “Moti Guj—Mutineer,” “The Mark of the Beast,” “The Return of Imray,” “The Man Who Would Be King,” and “The City of Dreadful Night.” The stories combine colonial life, adventure, social observation, and uncanny experience.
