Ces histoires ont été recueillies en tous lieux, et je les tiens de toutes sortes de gens, des prêtres de la Chubara, d’Ala Yar le graveur et de Jiwun Singh le charpentier, de gens sans nom à bord des bateaux et des trains autour du monde, de femmes filant devant leurs demeures au crépuscule, d’officiers et de gentlemen à cette heure morts et enterrés ; et un petit nombre, mais celles-là sont de loin les meilleures, c’est mon père qui me les a transmises. La plus grande partie de ces histoires a été publiée dans des revues et des journaux, et j’en suis obligé à leurs directeurs ; mais quelques-unes sont neuves de ce côté-ci de l’eau, et quelques autres voient le jour pour la première fois. Extrait de la préface.

Joseph Rudyard Kipling (1865 - 1936) was an English journalist, short-story writer, poet and novelist. Kipling's works of fiction include The Jungle Book (1894), Kim (1901) and many short stories, including "The Man Who Would Be King" (1888). His poems include "Mandalay" (1890), "Gunga Din" (1890), "The Gods of the Copybook Headings" (1919), "The White Man's Burden" (1899) and "If-" (1910). He is regarded as a major innovator in the art of the short story; his children's books are classics of children's literature and one critic described his work as exhibiting "a versatile and luminous narrative gift". Kipling was one of the most popular writers in the United Kingdom, in both prose and verse, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Henry James said: "Kipling strikes me personally as the most complete man of genius, as distinct from fine intelligence, that I have ever known." In 1907, at the age of 42, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, making him the first English-language writer to receive the prize and its youngest recipient to date. He was also sounded out for the British Poet Laureateship and on several occasions for a knighthood, both of which he declined.
