Under the Deodars by Rudyard Kipling
QR code
"Under the Deodars" by Rudyard Kipling is a collection of short stories published in January 1889. Set primarily in Simla, the British hill station in India, these interconnected tales explore the romantic entanglements, social intrigues, and moral dilemmas of colonial society. From Mrs. Hauksbee's schemes to ambitious flirtations gone awry, forbidden affairs at cemetery rendezvous, and a young subaltern's heroic devotion to his regiment during a cholera outbreak, Kipling captures the passions
and pretensions of British India with sharp observation and ironic wit. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
