Mowgli - Le Livre de la jungle

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

C'est en 1888 qu'est paru pour la première fois L'homme qui voulut être roi, récit dans lequel Rudyard Kipling (Le livre de la jungle, Kim) a consigné l'expédition de Daniel Dravot et Peachey Carnehan, deux aventuriers décidés à conquérir la lointaine province du Kafiristan. Presque 130 ans plus tard, un carnet de voyage retrouvé par miracle vient éclairer d'un jour nouveau cette fascinante épopée.

His name was Charlie Mears; he was the only son of his mother who was a widow, and he lived in the north of London, coming into the City every day to work in a bank. He was twenty years old and suffered from aspirations. I met him in a public billiard-saloon where the marker called him by his given name, and he called the marker "Bullseyes." Charlie explained, a little nervously, that he had only come to the place to look on, and since looking on at games of skill is not a cheap amusement for the young, I suggested that Charlie should go back to his mother.

That was our first step toward better acquaintance. He would call on me sometimes in the evenings instead of running about London with his fellow-clerks; and before long, speaking of himself as a young man must, he told me of his aspirations, which were all literary. He desired to make himself an undying name chiefly through verse, though he was not above sending stories of love and death to the drop-a-penny-in-the-slot journals. It was my fate to sit still while Charlie read me poems of many hundred lines, and bulky fragments of plays that would surely shake the world.
