Rudyard Kipling is a famous writer, poet and short story writer, the first Englishman to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. Perhaps rarely has anyone so successful literary fate: Kipling's works were enthusiastically received by critics and translated into three dozen languages, royalties turned out to be record-breaking, during his lifetime the author was published four collections of works - a truly unique case. "The House of Desire and other mystical stories" - a complete collection of mystical-fantasy prose of the celebrated classic. Here a ghostly rickshaw cart is accompanied by footmen in black and white livery, and a charm amulet helps the owner only if it was stolen, and preferably with bloodshed; here the gods of the Hindu pantheon discuss in the night after the flood, whether to let stand a giant bridge, erected by builders with such difficulty, and on the way to the greengrocer on Wadlose-road is the House of Wishes, allowing you to take on someone else's misfortune ... Many of the stories and novellas that make up this collection have been translated into Russian for the first time, others are presented in new translations, and the rest are in new editions.
