网友对Actions and Reactions (免费公版书)的评论
This Kindle edition contains a number of short stories followed by related poems. Mine included the poems, although it did not include illustrations. It includes "An Habitation Enforced", which I find cosy and heart-warming, and is one of my all-time favorite Kipling stories. Other stories: Garm-A Hostage; The Mother Hive; With the Night Mail; A Deal in Cotton; The Puzzler; The House Sugeon.
"Garm" is the story of a soldier and a dog in India. "With the Night Mail" is Kipling's foray into the world of Science Fiction; set in 2000 AD--- it is sooo steampunk. "The Mother Hive" is a cautionary tale of conservative wisdom. "A Deal in Cotton" is about Strickland's son's adventure in Africa. "The Puzzler" involves Penfentenyou and a Monkey Puzzle tree; grown men decide to determine empirically whether monkeys can climb Monkey Puzzles or not... "The House Surgeon" is about a haunted house and how it is cured; it is different from every other haunted house story I have read.
Enjoy!
Other reviewers have complained about missing parts. They were actually reviewing Kindle versions from other sources. This print version has both poems and illustrations.
The poems that follow each story are missing. Only the poem titles are present.
