Sous les déodars by Rudyard Kipling
"Sous les déodars" by Rudyard Kipling is a collection of short stories published in January 1889. Set in the British colonial world of India, particularly the hill station of Simla, these tales explore romantic entanglements, social intrigue, and military life. The stories feature scheming society women, forbidden affairs, jealous lovers, and devoted soldiers navigating the complex social hierarchies of the Raj. From scandalous liaisons to acts of quiet heroism, Kipling captures both
the frivolity and tragedy of colonial society. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
