The Story of the Gadsbys and Under the Deodars

More about the book

This volume contains two of Kipling's early works of fiction, originally published in 1888 and 1889, respectively. The stories are set in British India and offer vivid glimpses into the lives of the colonial elite, as well as insights into Kipling's own developing literary style. 'The Story of the Gadsbys' is a satirical novella that skewers Victorian mores and manners, while 'Under the Deodars' is a collection of short stories that explores themes of love, loss, and societal expectations. A must-read for fans of Kipling's work or anyone interested in the literature of the British Empire.
