Rudyard Kipling
The Day’s Work collects a striking range of Kipling’s short stories, blending fables, industrial realism, and colonial reflections into one cohesive vision of duty and consequence. Characters-human and otherwise-grapple with the forces of empire, honor, and technology, revealing deeper truths beneath everyday tasks. This is Kipling at his most varied and insightful, illuminating the dignity and danger of work in a changing world.
