Schlichte Geschichten aus den indischen Bergen

Rudyard Kipling

This volume gathers forty of Kipling’s early stories of British India, from “Lispeth” and “The Three Musketeers” to “In the House of Suddhoo,” “The Gate of the Hundred Sorrows,” and “The Story of Muhammad Din.” Moving through hill stations, offices, barracks, and Indian neighborhoods, the tales mix satire, tragedy, and the uncanny in examining love, ambition, power, and social boundaries.
