This book explores and re-evaluates Kipling’s connection with India, its people, culture, languages, and locales through his experiences and his writings. Kipling’s works attracted interest among a large section of the British public, stimulating curiosity in their far-off Indian Empire, and made many canonize him as an emblem of the ‘Raj’. This volume highlights the astonishing social and thematic range of his Indian writings as represented in The Jungle Books; Kim; his early verse; his Simla-based tales of Anglo-Indian intrigues and love affairs; his stories of the common Indian people; and his journalism. It brings together different theoretical and contextual readings of Kipling to examine how his experience of India influenced his creative work and conversely how his imperial loyalties conditioned his creative engagement with India. The 18 chapters here engage with the complexities and contradictions in his writings and analyse the historical and political contexts in which he wrote them, and the contexts in which we read him now. With well-known contributors from different parts of the world – including India, the UK, the USA, Canada, France, Japan, and New Zealand – this book will be of great interest not only to those interested in Kipling’s life and works but also to researchers and scholars of nineteenth-century literature, comparative studies, postcolonial and subaltern studies, colonial history, and cultural studies.

"A young woman on a cruise ship settles on an elderly German wearing bunny ears at a costume party as her first lover. A woman feels herself drawn through an old friend's house closer and closer to the room where he is sitting, and as she moves, she realizes that they are about to become lovers. In eight beautifully written stories Joan London explores the lives of women and of girls on the brink of womanhood. Her characters may, like the the woman traveling alone with three men, feel slightly out of place; or, like the older woman realizing that her daughter is a lesbian, begin to accept things they cannot fully understand. Each, in her own way, faces a crisis, and makes a decision to leap forward." -- Publisher's description.

'Each story in this collection illuminates a particular universe, completely authentic in texture and detail, giving us writing that is not only pleasurable, but finely-crafted as well'-Indian Review of Books In 'A New Year's Party', Geoffrey finds all his attempts to throw a successful party come to naught as his inappropriately chose guests make their dislike for each other very vocal; the wonderful camaraderie that can exist between a four-year-old and his ancient Nana is explored in 'Song of Innocence and Experience'; two men's lives follow a similar pattern in 'A Diagnosis of Destiny'-and then one of them dies to the other's horror; in 'The Taste of Almonds', a senile but endearing Nawab finds himself at odds with the changed times. As each exquisite story unfolds we are introduced to characters as varied and colourful as the parts of India to which they belong.

A riveting novel of suspense and terror from the Bram Stoker award-winning author of The Cabin at the End of the World and A Head Full of Ghosts. When it happens, it happens quickly. New England is locked down, a strict curfew the only way to stem the wildfire spread of a rabies-like virus. The hospitals cannot cope with the infected, as the pathogen's ferociously quick incubation period overwhelms the state. The veneer of civilisation is breaking down as people live in fear of everyone around them. Staying inside is the only way to keep safe. But paediatrician Ramola Sherman can t stay safe, when her friend Natalie calls her husband is dead, she's eight months pregnant, and she's been bitten. She is thrust into a desperate race to bring Natalie and her unborn child to a hospital, to try and save both their lives. Their once familiar home has becoming a violent and strange place, twisted in to a barely recognisable landscape. What should have been a simple, joyous journey becomes a brutal trial.
