Out of its 40 stories, “eight-and-twenty”, according to Kipling’s Preface, were initially published in the Civil and Military Gazette (CMG) in Lahore, Punjab, British India between November 1886 and June 1887. “The remaining tales are, more or less, new.” (Kipling had worked as a journalist for the CMG -his first job- since 1882, when he was not quite 17.)\n\nThe title refers, by way of a pun on “Plain” as the reverse of “Hills”, to the deceptively simple narrative style; and to the fact that many of the stories are set in the Hill Station of Simla-the “summer capital of the British Raj” during the hot weather. Not all of the stories are, in fact, about life in “the Hills”: Kipling gives sketches of many aspects of life in British India.\n\nThe tales include the first appearances, in book form, of Mrs. Hauksbee, the policeman Strickland, and the Soldiers Three (Privates Mulvaney, Ortheris and Learoyd).\n\nIn the preface to his short stories collection “Dr. Brodie’s Report”, Jorge Luis Borges wrote he was inspired by the quality and conciseness of Plain Tales from the Hills.\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unlike most of the books in our store, this book is in English.\n\u003cstrong\u003eUyarı:\u003c\/strong\u003e Agora Bilim Pazarı'ndaki diğer birçok kitabın aksine, bu kitap İngilizcedir.","brand":"Panama","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47957404319999,"sku":"SB-B-000551","price":250.0,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0773\/8287\/7439\/files\/8e24b82c5ddf59a92019bc2120d05d94.jpg?v=1778921572","url":"https:\/\/agora.evrimagaci.org\/products\/plains-tales-from-the-hills-rudyard-kipling","provider":"Agora Bilim Pazarı","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
