    Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) is often regarded as the unofficial Laureate of the British Empire. Yet his writing reveals a ferociously independent figure at times violently opposed to the dominant political and literary tendencies of his age. Arranged in chronological order, this diverse selection of his poetry shows the development of Kipling's talent, his deepening maturity and the growing sombreness of his poetic vision. Ranging from early, exhilarating celebrations of British expansion overseas, including 'Mandalay' and 'Gunga Din', to the dignified and inspirational 'If -' and the later, deeply moving 'Epitaphs of the War' - inspired by the death of Kipling's only son - it clearly illustrates the scope and originality of his work. It also offers a compelling insight into the Empire both at its peak and during its decline in the early years of the twentieth century.

    Just So stories is a classic of children's literature, and one of Rudyard Kipling's best known books. It was published in 1902, as a collection of the stories he told his daughter Josephine at bedtime; the little girl insisted that the stories be told "just so" or she would wake up and add the missing sentence, eventually making all these stories like charms, effective if untouched. They depict how one animal or another acquired its distinctive features: delight your children with the tale of how the camel got his lump, how the leopard got his spots, and why rhinos have folds in their skins and bad tempers, among many others read by Katie Haigh.

    La protagonista di questa racconto dalle tinte futuristiche è una nave mercantile di nome Dimbula, perno di un insolito racconto che ha al suo centro le tematiche della tecnologia e del progresso scientifico. All'interno del racconto, Kipling si diverte a dar voce al ponte, ai chiodi, ai bagli, agli argani, in un gioco di dialoghi surreali che alla fine daranno vita a una voce sola: quella della nave Dimbula che troverà se stessa nel suo primo viaggio da Liverpool a New York.

    "Pane nell’acqua" è un racconto comparso per la prima volta nel 1895 sulla rivista Graphic, successivamente incluso nella raccolta "Il diavolo e l’abisso".Il racconto è narrato in prima persona dall'autore, presente nel racconto in veste di amico del protagonista, McPhee, effettivamente conosciuto da Kipling come capo macchinista della Breslau, una nave della compagnia di navigazione di Holdock, Steiner e Chase. Anni dopo il loro primo incontro, le strade dei due s'incrociano nuovamente, quando ormai McPhee ha alle spalle una significativa fortuna e una storia lunga e avvicente da raccontare, fatta di tante avventure quante sono le cicatrici presenti sul suo volto. Da qui la volontà di Kipling di mettere per iscritto la storia del vecchio amico, fissandola per sempre nel tempo e consegnandola così ai suoi lettori e alle generazioni a venire.

    Quattro racconti – introvabili da tempo in Italia e mai raccolti insieme – caratterizzati da un preciso senso dell’avventura e da un graffiante umorismo venato di aspetti satirici. Uno dei lati meno noti e tuttavia originalissimi dell’autore di "Kim", "Il libro della giungla", "Capitani coraggiosi" e "L’uomo che volle farsi Re". A "Il diavolo e l'abisso", primo straordinario e travolgente racconto lungo, in una nuova traduzione, se ne aggiungono altri tre: "La nave che trovò se stessa", "La mia domenica in patria" e "Pane nell’acqua", dai quali emerge la sapienza narrativa di un autore che per lungo tempo è stato celebre e amato quanto Dickens e Conrad.

    "Il diavolo e l'abisso" è uno straordinario e appassionante racconto lungo, pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1895 sul numero natalizio del settimanale The Graphic. Il racconto narra dell'avventura finale di un grande piroscafo adoperato per missioni piuttosto dubbie, che cambia continuamente nome. Un giorno, infatti, camuffato da baleniera e battente bandiera britannica, viene intercettato e, infine, braccato da una cannoniera nei mari dell'Indonesia, dove di balene, per l'appunto, non se ne sono mai viste. Ne seguono scontri, vicende giudiziarie, e la fuga dei pirati che nascondevano all'interno della nave un prezioso carico.

    Charlemagne's wars in Italy, Spain and Saxony formed part of the common epic material, and there are references to his wars against the Slavs; but especially he remained in the popular mind as the great champion of Christianity against the creed of Mahomet, and even his Norman and Saxon enemies became Saracens in current legend. He is the Christian emperor directly inspired by angels; his sword Joyeuse contained the point of the lance used in the Passion; his standard was Romaine, the banner of St Peter, which, as the oriflamme of Saint Denis, was later to be borne in battle before the kings of France; and in 1164 Charles was canonized at the desire of the emperor Frederick I. Barbarossa by the anti-pope Pascal III. Discover the epic story of this legendary ruler in a clear and practical format.

    " Il fouilla dans l'épaisseur des loques qui entouraient sa taille tordue, retira un sac de crin noir bordé de fil d'argent, et en secoua sur la table la tête desséchée et flétrie de Daniel Davrot ! Le soleil matinal, car depuis longtemps les lampes avaient pâli, frappa la barbe rouge, les yeux aveugles dans les orbites creuses, de même que le lourd cercle d'or incrusté de turquoises brutes que Carnehan plaça tendrement sur les tempes blêmies.- Vous contemplez maintenant l'empereur en son appareil ordinaire, comme il vivait - le roi du Kafiristan avec la couronne en tête. Pauvre vieux Daniel qui fut monarque une fois ! "
