Just So Stories for Little Children is a 1902 collection of origin stories by the British author Rudyard Kipling. Considered a classic of children's literature, the book is among Kipling's best known works. Kipling began working on the book by telling the first three chapters as bedtime stories to his daughter Josephine. These had to be told ""just so"" (exactly in the words she was used to) or she would complain. The stories describe how one animal or another acquired its most distinctive features, such as how the Leopard got his spots. For the book, Kipling illustrated the stories himself. The stories have appeared in a variety of adaptations including a musical and animated films. Evolutionary biologists have noted that what Kipling did in fiction, they have done in reality, providing explanations for the evolutionary development of animal features. The Just So Stories each tell how a particular animal was modified from an original form to its current form by the acts of man, or some magic.

Captains Courageous is an 1897 novel, by Rudyard Kipling, that follows the adventures of fifteen-year-old Harvey Cheyne Jr., the spoiled son of a railroad tycoon, after he is saved from drowning by a Portuguese fisherman in the north Atlantic. The novel originally appeared as a serialisation in McClure's, beginning with the November 1896 edition. In 1900, in his essay "What We Can Expect of the American Boy," Teddy Roosevelt extolled the book and praised Kipling for describing "in the liveliest way just what a boy should be and do." The book's title comes from the ballad Mary Ambree, which starts, "When captains courageous, whom death could not daunt". Kipling had previously used the same title for an article on businessmen as the new adventurers, published in The Times of 23 November 1892.

Los construcciones del puente es parte de la colecci n de relatos que Kipling agrup bajo el t tulo de El trabajo de cada d a, y constituye un ciclo narrativo extraordinario por la exhaustividad y belleza del lenguaje y la magnitud literaria de la empresa, pues Kipling se propuso expresar su fe en el trabajo til que los hombres del Imperio llevaban a cabo en su guerra civilizadora contra lo que quedaba fuera de la civilizaci n. Emblem tico entre los dem s es este cuento que parte de la cr nica de una empresa tecnol gica, la construcci n de un puente sobre el Ganges (el volumen en el que est incluido se titula The Day's Work, El trabajo diario), que choca con las fuerzas de la naturaleza y con la religi n que en esas fuerzas se inspira -hay una evocaci n visionaria de los dioses de la India-. El di logo entre los dioses a que asistimos es un debate ideol gico sobre una posible integraci n de ambas civilizaciones, en el sentido de que la hind , mucho m s antigua, podr a englobar perfectamente a la inglesa.

Lo fant stico, en la literatura de Rudyard Kipling, nace del contraste entre dos mundos: las culturas de la India, con toda la riqueza de sus tradiciones religiosas y filos ficas y de su modo de vida, y la moral del ingl s, convencido de estar construyendo en la India una nueva civilizaci n y que siente la responsabilidad de tal deber y la angustia por la incomprensi n de los hind es y de muchos compatriotas. Ambos mundos son objeto en Kipling de un profundo conocimiento y de una profunda pasi n.
