The Man Who Would be King & Other Stories

Meer over het boek

A master storyteller, Rudyard Kipling drew heavily on his experiences of living in both Britain and India, where these stories are set. Combining biting satire, outstanding wit, and heartfelt observations, this collection of nine stories ranges from 'The Man Who Would Be King', a tale of two men who travel to a remote part of Afghanistan to become kings, only for disaster to follow, to the romance of 'The Education of Otis Yeere'. Powerful and lyrical, these tales showcase the extraordinary talent of one of literature's greatest writers.
