Set in the days of the British Raj, Kipling’s finest novel is the exciting and touching tale of an Irish orphan-boy who has lived free in the streets of Lahore before setting out, with a Tibetan Lama, on a spiritual quest. Kim later enrols in the Indian Service and simultaneously embarks on an espionage mission of supreme importance. A thrilling climax in the Himalayas occurs when the two quests become entangled. Kim’s search for identity is staged within one of the most magnificent and affectionate portrayals of Indian culture in literature.

Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) "Il n’est pour ainsi dire pas un mot de cette histoire qui n’ait pour base le fait. La Guerre Boër de 1899-1902 en fut une toute petite, suivant l’idée que l’on se faisait des guerres, et nulle mauvaise intention n’en fut la cause, mais elle apprit à nos hommes la valeur pratique du « scouting » ou des reconnaissances en campagne. Ils furent lents à comprendre au début, et il leur en coûta maintes pertes inutiles ; c’est toujours le cas lorsque les hommes croient qu’ils peuvent faire leur ouvrage sans prendre de peine au préalable. Les canons de la Batterie de Campagne étaient embusqués derrière les mimosas à épines blanches, guère plus hauts que leurs roues,nqui indiquaient le cours d’un nulla(1) desséché ; et le camp prétendait trouver de l’ombre sous un bouquet de gommiers plantés à titre d’expérience par quelque Ministre de l’Agriculture. Une petite butte, de pierre rougeâtre, à toit de fer-blanc, se dressait où la voie unique du chemin de fer se divisait pour s’en aller former une voie de déchargement. Une plaine onduleuse de terre rouge, mouchetée de pierres vagabondes et de broussaille clairsemée, s’étendait au nord jusqu’aux escarpes et éperons d’une rangée de petites collines – le tout aride et exagéré dans la brume de chaleur." Recueil de 8 contes : "Le chemin qu'il prit" - "Un pilote non qualifié" - "Le don de William" - "Une ligne droite d'importance" - "Stalky" - "L'incendie du Sarah Sands" - "Il avait du cran" - "Le fils de son père"

This edition of Kipling’s "The Song of the English" was originally published in November 1909. It included the six subsidiary poems: The Coastwise Lights, The Song of the Dead, The Deep-Sea Cables, The Song of the Sons, The Song of the Cities, and England's Answer. The theme underlying much of this collection, is that the English are the Chosen under the Lord, so long as they obey the Law. This is one of Kipling’s earliest verses specifically setting out his vision of the British Empire, and the duties which it imposes on the English (British) people. His definition of 'the English' is wide, certainly embracing the people of the overseas Empire, Australia, New Xealand, Canada, South Africa, but arguably also the Americans. These classic poems are accompanied by thirty incredible colour illustrations and many beautiful and intricate black and white drawings by W. Heath Robinson. An English cartoonist and illustrator, best known for drawings of ridiculously complicated machines – for achieving deceptively simple objectives. Such was (and is) his fame, that the term ‘Heath Robinson’ entered the English language during the First World War, as a description of any unnecessarily complex and implausible contrivance.

Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) "Nous sommes, tous tant que nous sommes, des pionniers, des Barbares, nous autres qui habitons au delà du Fossé, dans les ténèbres extérieures du Mofussil. Il n’y a ici rien qui ressemble à des commissaires, à des chefs d’administration et il n’existe dans l’Inde qu’une Cité. Bombay est trop vert, trop joli, a des détours trop compliqués et il y a si longtemps que Madras est défunt. Tirons notre chapeau devant Calcutta, la ville aux multiples facettes, enfumée, magnifique, lorsque nous passons en voiture sur le pont de l’Hughli, à l’aube d’une calme matinée de février. Nous avons laissé l’Inde derrière nous à la gare d’Howrah, et maintenant nous entrons en territoire étranger. Non, pas tout à fait étranger. Disons plutôt trop familier. Tous les hommes d’un certain âge connaissent l’irritation que cause le sentiment qu’on est en cage. Une illustration du Graphic – une portée de musique ou les propos légers d’un ami qui arrive du pays, peuvent la faire flamboyer – cette sensation qui a sa source dans ce que nous savons de notre paradis perdu de Londres." Rudyard Kipling, au temps où il prenait ses congés de journaliste, fut un grand voyageur devant l’Éternel. Le présent volume se compose du récit de deux de ses promenades de globe-trotter. Dans la première, il visite Calcutta, la cité de l’épouvantable nuit, et en décrit les bouges. La seconde nous conduit jusqu’à Hong-Kong. (Albert Savine)

Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) "La porte du fumoir exposée au vent venait de rester ouverte au brouillard de l’Atlantique Nord, tandis que le grand paquebot roulait et tanguait, en sifflant pour avertir la flottille de pêche. « Ce petit Cheyne, c’est la peste du bord », dit, en fermant la porte d’un coup de poing, un homme en pardessus velu et frisé. « On n’en a nul besoin ici. Il est par trop impertinent. » Un Allemand à cheveux blancs avança la main pour prendre un sandwich et grommela entre ses dents : « C’est une esbèce que che gonnais. L’Amérique en est bleine de tout bareils. Che fous tis que vous tefriez gomprendre les bouts de corde gratis tans fotre tarif. » – Peuh ! Il n’est pas mauvais au fond. Il est plutôt à plaindre qu’autre chose, dit d’une voix traînante un habitant de New-York, lequel gisait étendu de tout son long sur les coussins, au-dessous de la claire-voie humide. On l’a toujours traîné de tous côtés, d’hôtel en hôtel, depuis sa sortie de nourrice. Je causais avec sa mère ce matin. C’est une femme charmante, mais qui n’a aucune prétention à le diriger. Il va en Europe achever son éducation. – Éducation qui n’est pas encore commencée (c’était un habitant de Philadelphie pelotonné dans un coin). Ce gamin a deux cents dollars d’argent de poche par mois, m’a-t-il dit. Et il n’a pas seize ans. – Les gemins de ver, son bère, n’est-ce bas ? dit l’Allemand." Le jeune Harvey Cheyne est le fils d'un milliardaire ; aussi il se croit supérieur à tout le monde. A bord du paquebot sur lequel il effectue une croisière, personne ne l'apprécie. Un accident survient... Harvey tombe à l'eau et ne doit son salut qu'aux marins pêcheurs du "We're here" qui l'ont recueilli. Harvey va vite comprendre que l'on ne peut pas tout acheter et devra changer son comportement...

"If-" is a timeless classic, a masterpiece about keeping your balance in a topsy-turvy world and maintaining personal integrity. A phenomenal poem by English Nobel laureate Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936), written circa 1895 as a tribute to Leander Starr Jameson, it is a literary example of Victorian-era stoicism. Among other nuggets, it advocates the idea of not allowing your successes to go to your head or allowing your failures to go to your heart. A great stabilizer for everyone. It contains truly sage advice needed now more than ever! The poem is written in the form of paternal advice to the poet's son, John. A succinct yet tremendously potent body of work. A must-have for every library.

Orphaned as a baby, human-boy Mowgli is adopted by wolves, befriended by Baloo the bear, and educated in the wonders and dangers of the Indian jungle. But the adventures of The Jungle Book don't end with the young man-cub and his unusual new family. Through tales of Kotick the White Seal, Rikki-tikki-tavi the mongoose, and others, listeners learn about courage and survival, rules and order, principles and morals, coming-of-age, and the thrill of self-discovery. Rudyard Kipling's fables reflect both his childhood in India and his vivid imagination, while exploring the relationship between civilization and the wild.
