Description

'Under the Deodars' is a collection of short stories by Rudyard Kipling and printed in 1889. These stories illustrating British life in Shimla and similar regions around India during the British rule. This book has consist of eight short stories: The Education of Otis Yeere, At the Pit's Mouth, A Wayside Comedy, The Hill of Illusion, A Second-Rate Woman, Only a Subaltern, In the Matter of a Private, The Enlightenments of Pagett. M.P. In the first story, The Education of Otis Yeere, a brief look into how the smart, bored wives of government officials in India dealt with their boredom by fertilizing fortunes of hapless men from the rank and life. 'At the Pit's Mouth' is a tragic warning against conducting infidelities in a graveyard. 'A Wayside Comedy' is similar example against conducting adulteries in a hidden little circle, and 'The Hill of Illusion' rounds off a loose tripartition, with a deficient dialogue between nervous womanizer. The next two stories are based in the camps, both ending in death. 'Only a Subaltern' features a motivating young officer who goes beyond the call of duty for his men, then 'In the Matter of a Private' is a case of threatening where the worm turns. The final story 'The Enlightenments of Pagett, M.P.', is the one to look at the India question as a whole and is primarily an exercise in informing the good people back home that they don't understand a thing about the country.
