    About this audiobook

    The short stories written during and about World War I are often over shadowed by the excellent verse of the War Poets.

    Yet the short story is perhaps their equal in other ways. Within these succinct little time capsules of words are captured ideas, attitudes, feelings and life that are expressed in a few pages just as movingly, imaginatively and tellingly as in any other form.

    Some of these stories will be familiar but some may not. From Virginia Woolf to Katharine Mansfield and John Buchan to C. E. Montague various writing styles try to make sense of this world at war.

    Some may do so directly and some obliquely. Some speak of class others of the masses but all reveal their author’s intent and their mastery of war and its effects and consequences upon the human condition as told through their words.

    Rudyard Kipling

    Rudyard Kipling war der große Chronist Indiens zur Zeit des britischen Empires. Kein Zweiter beschrieb in seinen Romanen, Reportagen und Kurzgeschichten die Fremde des Subkontinents lebendiger und spannender. Joseph Rudyard Kipling (Geb. 30. Dezember 1865 in Bombay; Gest. 18. Januar 1936 in London) war ein britischer Schriftsteller und Dichter. Zu seinen bekanntesten Werken zählen "Das Dschungelbuch" und der Spionage-Roman "Kim". Kipling gilt als wichtiger Vertreter des Kurzgeschichten-Genres und als hervorragender Erzähler. 1907 erhielt er als damals jüngster und erster englischsprachiger Schriftsteller den Literaturnobelpreis, den Rekord als jüngster Literaturnobelpreisträger hält er bis heute. Verschiedene andere Ehrungen und eine Erhebung in den Adelsstand lehnte er ab.
