Nacido en Bombay y educado en Inglaterra, Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) regresó a los diecisiete años a la India, fuente de inspiración de buena parte de sus poemas, novelas y relatos. Catalogado durante mucho tiempo superficialmente como mero relato de aventuras, Kim es, sin embargo, una obra que va mas alla y reune, con prosa magistral, historia y ficcion, humor y poesia, Oriente y Occidente. Las peripecias de Kimball OHara, el huerfano de origen irlandes nacido en la India que emprende un recorrido mistico por el pais en compañia de un lama del Tibet y acaba trabajando como agente secreto al servicio del espionaje britanico, son hoy un clasico de la literatura universal y un emblema de los ultimos años del imperio victoriano en el continente indio. Otras obras de Kipling en esta coleccion: El libro de las tierras virgenes (BT 8005) y Capitanes intrepidos (BT 8038).

Kim is Kipling's adventure classic, and a magnificent evocation of India at the time of the Raj. Orphan sahib and bazaar-boy, Kim lives by his wits. His chameleon's talent for disguise draws him into the Great Game - British intelligence in India - and on a mission to thwart foreign agents on the North-West Frontier. Kim's travels coincide with the quest of his friend the Tibetan lama, who is seeking redemption from the Wheel of Life. They are the heroes of an adventure crammed with incident and humour, alive with the hustle, bustle, life and colour of India.

Rediscover the timeless tales of children's literature in this beautifully designed series from Pavilion. Exquisitely illustrated and published in uniform editions, these are a must for every chi

The story of Mowgli, the man-cub who is brought up by wolves in the jungles of Central India, is one of the greatest literary myths ever created. As he embarks on a series of thrilling escapades, Mowgli encounters such unforgettable creatures as the bear Baloo, the graceful black panther Bagheera and Shere Khan, the tiger with the blazing eyes. Other animal stories in The Jungle Books range from the dramatic battle between good and evil in 'Rikki-tikki-tavi' to the macabre comedy 'The Undertakers'. With The Jungle Books Rudyard Kipling drew on ancient beast fables, Buddhist philosophy and memories of his Anglo-Indian childhood to create a rich, symbolic portrait of man and nature, and an eternal classic of childhood.

Frutto della tarda fioritura kiplinghiana - fioritura come offuscata e relegata in secondo piano dall'eccesso di notorietà procurata allo scrittore dalle sue opere maggiori - questi racconti non mancheranno di sorprendere e sconcertare molti lettori: giocati su una mostruosa tastiera di riferimenti, bagnati di malinconia immortale, spaziano dal Sudafrica che non ha ancora conosciuto la guerra boera all'Antiochia dei primi martiri cristiani, dal Medioevo monastico alle trincee della Grande Guerra.
