This is a fascinating selection of Kipling`s most famous short stories, bringing together the very best of his work. `Life`s Handicap` reflects his experiences of India, and contains two horror stories which permeate the collection with an air of haunteddestinies. Delusions and obsessions, past lives and the slums of London in 1890 are the fascinatingly diverse topics featured in `Many Inventions`. While `Traffics and Discoveries` contains three tales in which the subject matter ranges from unexplained mystery and the supernatural to an other-worldly house full of elusive but charming children. `The Maltese Cut` is Kipling`s well-loved story about a polo pony. These stories remind us once again that Kipling is an undisputed master of...

Rudyard Kipling, celebrated author of "The Jungle Book", the "Just So Stories" and other entertaining fictions, was also a master of the short story in which he was able to combine the strange and unnerving in order to draw the reader into the world of his own dark imaginings. This collection presents the best of these strange tales in which ghosts, monsters and inexplicable happenings abound. From the exotic and magical locale of India, to the leafy suburbs of England and then to the blood-soaked trenches of the First World War, Kipling provides us with a chilling array of experiences and images which will linger long in the memory. There is a timeless element to these tales which make them as relevant and as stimulating today as when...

In these 17 essays (plus a short story) the 2011 Man Booker Prize winner examines British, French and American writers who have meant most to him, as well as the cross - currents and overlappings of their different cultures. From the deceptiveness of Penelope Fitzgerald to the directness of Hemingway, from Kipling`s view of France to the French view of Kipling, from the many translations of Madame Bovary to the fabulations of Ford Madox Ford, from the National Treasure Status of George Orwell to the despair of Michel Houellebecq, Julian Barnes considers what fiction is, and what it can do. As he writes in his preface, `Novels tell us the most truth about life: what it is, how we live it, what it might be for, how we enjoy and value it,...
