Plain Tales From The Hills

Incluyendo las historias "Lispeth", "Beyond the Pale" y "In the Pride of His Youth", esta colección habla de soldados, niños sabios, exiliados, romances prohibidos e identidades divididas, creando un rico retrato de Anglo- Sociedad india.

Publicado originalmente para un periódico en Lahore cuando Kipling era periodista, los cuentos fueron revisados ​​más tarde por él para recrear lo más vívidamente posible las vistas y los olores de la India para los lectores en casa.

Lejos de ser una celebración del imperio, estas historias exploran las barreras entre razas, clases y sexos, y transmiten todas las tensiones y contradicciones de la vida colonial.

IDIOMA ORIGINAL

Including the stories “Lispeth,” “Beyond the Pale,” and “In the Pride of His Youth,” this collection tells of soldiers, wise children, exiles, forbidden romances and divided identities, creating a rich portrait of Anglo-Indian society.

Originally published for a newspaper in Lahore when Kipling was a journalist, the tales were later revised by him to re-create as vividly as possible the sights and smells of India for readers at home.

Far from being a celebration of empire, these stories explore the barriers between races, classes and sexes, and convey all the tensions and contradictions of colonial life.
