Synopsis

""They"" by Rudyard Kipling is a collection of short stories that explore the complex relationships between the British colonizers and the native populations of India. The stories are set in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and feature a range of characters, from British soldiers and officials to Indian peasants and tribal leaders. Through these characters, Kipling examines themes of power, race, and identity, and offers a nuanced portrayal of the complexities of colonialism. The stories are written in Kipling's signature style, characterized by vivid descriptions, rich dialogue, and a deep understanding of the cultures and traditions of both the British and Indian people. Overall, ""They"" is a powerful and thought-provoking collection that offers a unique perspective on one of the most significant periods of British history.I saw the Doctor come out of the cottage followed by a draggle-tailed wench who clung to his arm as though he could make treaty for her with Death. ``Dat sort, '' she wailed -- ``dey're just as much to us dat has 'em as if dey was lawful born. Just as much -- just as much! An' God he'd be just as pleased if you saved 'un, Doctor. Don't take it from me. Miss Florence will tell ye de very same. Don't leave 'im, Doctor!''This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
