About the Book

Images de déluge, de rois et d'éléphants, de touffes de manguiers ombrageant des rivières aux flots porteurs de cadavres gonflés. En des allées pavées de briques, des pèlerins aux pieds nus - Musulmans, Sikhs et Indhous - se mêlent à des écureuils et corbeaux familiers sous l'exclamation ironique des perroquets. Recueillies sous les ciels et les chemins de l'Inde, dans la cour des monastères et dans le fumoir des clubs pour officiers, ces "histoires de mon pays et de son peuple " dissertent sur la vie et la mort, sur les hommes et sur les femmes, sur l'amour et la destinée. Elles justifient le proverbe: "j'ai rencontré cent hommes sur la route de Delhi et ils étaient tous mes frères". Les sahibs blancs et les indigènes sans biens et sans droit qu'ils gouvernent apparaissent égaux dans l'affection de l'auteur: "quand on est arrivé aux tourniquets de la Nuit éternelle, toutes les religions du monde vous paraissent curieusement égales et sans importance ".
About the Author: Rudyard Kipling (né à Bombay dans l'Inde britannique, le 30 décembre 1865 et mort à Londres, le 18 janvier 1936) est un écrivain britannique. Ses ouvrages pour la jeunesse ont connu dès leur parution un succès qui ne s'est jamais démenti, notamment Le Livre de la jungle (1894), Le Second Livre de la jungle (1895), Histoires comme ça (1902), Puck, lutin de la colline (1906). Il est également l'auteur du roman Kim (1901), de poèmes (Mandalay (1890), Gunga Din (1890), et Tu seras un homme, mon fils (1910) sont parmi les plus célèbres) et de nouvelles, dont L'Homme qui voulait être Roi (1888) et le recueil Simples contes des collines (1888). Il a été considéré comme un innovateur dans l'art de la nouvelle, un précurseur de la science-fiction et l'un des plus grands auteurs de la littérature de jeunesse. Son oeuvre manifeste un talent pour la narration qui s'est exprimé dans des formes variées. De la fin du XIXe siècle au milieu du XXe siècle, Kipling est resté l'un des auteurs les plus populaires de la langue anglaise. L'écrivain Henry James écrit à son sujet Kipling me touche personnellement, comme l'homme de génie le plus complet que j'aie jamais connu . En 1907, il est le premier auteur de langue anglaise à recevoir le prix Nobel de littérature, et le plus jeune à l'avoir reçu (42 ans). Par la suite, il a refusé d'être anobli. Cependant, Kipling a été souvent considéré comme un prophète de l'impérialisme britannique, selon l'expression de George Orwell. La controverse au sujet des préjugés et du militarisme qui seraient présents dans son oeuvre a traversé tout le XXe siècle. Selon le critique littéraire Douglas Kerr Il reste un auteur qui inspire des réactions de rejet passionnées, et sa place dans l'histoire littéraire et culturelle est loin d'être solidement établie. Cependant, à l'heure où les empires européens sont en repli, il est reconnu comme un interprète incomparable, sinon controversé, de la manière dont l'empire était vécu. Cela, ajouté à son extraordinaire génie narratif, lui donne une force qu'on ne peut que reconnaître.
