Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) is a great English writer, poet and journalist, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature. The author of The Jungle Book, Kim and many short stories, he became famous for his ability to depict life with his characteristic directness, keen observation and subtle irony.
"Stalky and Company" is a series of short stories about young men whose friendship and ingenuity are formed in the conditions of a strict British school. Kipling, relying on his own school memories, paints vivid images of Stalky, Turky and Beetle - witty, freedom-loving and brave. School pranks here become not just fun, but preparation for adult life, for service and responsibility. Despite the controversy that the book caused after its publication in 1899, it is still read with unflagging interest, retaining the freshness of style and depth of observation.
This edition also includes rare short stories that complement the classic cycle.
