The Story Of The Gadsby

More about the book

Set against a backdrop of marriage, the narrative follows Captain Vasant and Miss D. through various stages of their relationship, presented in a dialogue-driven play format. Comprising eight melodramatic short stories, the work explores themes of family dynamics, social class, and manners, resembling a comedy of manners. Each scene offers a glimpse into modern life, culminating in a final poem that ties the stories together. First published in India in 1888, it reflects Kipling's unique storytelling style and insight into human relationships.
