Two men - Kim, a boy growing into early manhood, and the lama, an old ascetic priest - are fired by a quest. Kim is white, although born in India. While he wants to play the Great Game of imperialism, he is also spiritually bound to the lama and he tries to reconcile these opposing strands.

The Law of the Jungle-which is by far the oldest law in the world-has arranged for almost every kind of accident that may befall the Jungle People, till now its code is as perfect as time and custom can make it. You will remember that Mowgli spent a great part of his life in the Seeonee Wolf-Pack, learning the Law from Baloo, the Brown Bear; and it was Baloo who told him, when the boy grew impatient at the constant orders, that the Law was like the Giant Creeper, because it dropped across every one's back and no one could escape. "When thou hast lived as long as I have, Little Brother, thou wilt see how all the Jungle obeys at least one Law. And that will be no pleasant sight, " said Baloo.

Obligé de partager le sort de ses compagnons de voyage, il oublie peu à peu son origine, son enfance, pour, au contact de la mer, devenir un homme.

Capitaines courageux

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 ReIl diavolo e l'abisso viene pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1895 sul numero natalizio del settimanale « The Graphic » ed è l'avventura finale di un grande piroscafo utilizzato per missioni assai dubbie, che cambia continuamente nome. Un giorno, trasformato in baleniera e battente bandiera britannica, viene notato da una cannoniera nei mari dell'Indonesia, dove le balene non si sono mai viste, e braccato. Ne seguono battaglie, vicende giudiziarie, e la fuga dei pirati che nascondevano un prezioso carico. A questo 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 - e altri racconti

En 1878, à l'âge de treize ans, Kipling entre comme interne dans un collège privé du Devonshire, le United Services College, où il passera quatre années et demi. En 1895, il aura l'idée de rédiger «de petits traités ou paraboles sur l'éducation des jeunes». Ce projet se transformera en une suite de récits, Stalky et Cie, où Kipling fait revivre les canulars et les aventures vécus au collège quinze ans plus tôt en compagnie de ses deux meilleurs amis, le trio étant désigné sous les pseudonymes de Beetle, M'Turk et Stalky, le meneur. Les trois récits ici rassemblés, qui témoignent des talents de conteur de Kipling, de son sens de l'humour et de son art des portraits, constituent autant de savoureux tableaux de la vie de collège anglais.
