Synopsis "Tales from India"

One of the greatest storytellers of the English language, Kipling's stories touch the heart because they draw from his own childhood in Victorian India. Enter the prophetic dreams of an English soldier, then witness the reality of famine and the love story that grows among this backdrop of tragedy - his stories are a magical world that offer a sneak peek into lives of people in British India. Tales from India is a collector's edition, with handpicked stories from some of his most-loved collections.

Bombay, (1865-1936). Rudyard Kipling wrote novels, poems, and stories mainly set in India and Burma during the British rule. Kipling was a prolific and popular writer, and his literature always revolves around three axes: patriotism, the duty of the English to lead a life of intense activity, and the destiny of England, called to be a great empire. His insistence on this last aspect was undoubtedly an echo of the Victorian past, and severely damaged his reputation as a writer, despite being the first British author awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
