Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Indian Legends Retold The first Indian legends, repeated by the fireside to children, deal with the animals humanized, their gifts and their weaknesses, in such a way as to be a lesson to the young. Our view of the creation allows a soul to all living creatures, and rocks and trees are reverenced as sharers in the divine. Beyond their simplicity and realism there is always the unexplained, the background of mystery and spirituality. These animal fables serve as an introduction to more complicated stories with human actors, which almost always have their hidden moral and are accepted by our people as guides to life.

Book Synopsis Indian Tales (Classic Reprint) by : Rudyard Kipling
Download or read book Indian Tales (Classic Reprint) written by Rudyard Kipling and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 758 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indian Tales by Rudyard Kipling is a collection of short stories that revolve around the Indian subcontinent. India had a special place in Kipling's heart as is evident from his writings since he spent many of his formative years in the country. This work is a reflection of his deep rooted understanding of the many different facets of the country. Indian Tales is a mammoth collection running into many pages with a little less than forty stories to choose from. It showcases some of Kipling's best known work. The essence of the stories found in this volume is that the central character of Kipling's stories is not just the main protagonist but India itself. His views on the socio-cultural ethos of the country and its people as well as the complex relationship between the British empire and native Indians is beautifully captured within the many pages of this book. It would be difficult to single out specific stories but some are worth mentioning to discerning readers. In this collection Kipling showcases different styles of writing including stories like the Phantom Rickshaw and the Man Who Would Be King which are eerie and other-worldly. The stories revolving around the three characters of Mulvaney, Ortheris, and Learoyd are also highly entertaining as found in The Three Musketeers and Private Learoyd's Story. Indian Tales is the perfect starting point for readers as yet deprived of the genius of Rudyard Kipling while it continues to be a treasure trove of moving narratives ensconced within the enigmatic world of India by of one of literature's evergreen legends.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Algonquin Indian Tales In all ages, from the remotest antiquity, the storyteller has flourished. Evidences of his existence are to be found among the most ancient monuments and writings in the Orient. In Egypt, Nineveh, Babylon, and other ancient lands he flourished, and in the homes of the noblest he was ever an honored guest. The oldest collection of folklore stories or myths now in existence is of East Indian origin and is preserved in the Sanskrit. The collection is called Hitopadesa, and the author was Veshnoo Sarma. Of this collection, Sir William Jones, the great Orientalist, wrote, "The fables of Veshnoo are the most beautiful, if not the most ancient, collection of apologues in the world." As far back as the sixth century translations were made from them. The same love for myths and legends obtains today in those Oriental lands.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Indian Legends These legends are relics of our country's once virgin soil. These and many others are the tales the little black-haired aborigine loved so much to hear beside the night fire. For him the personified elements and other spirits played in a vast world right around the center fire of the wigwam. Iktomi, the snare weaver, Iya, the Eater, and Old Double-Face are not wholly fanciful creatures. There were other worlds of legendary folk for the young aborigine, such as "The Star-Men of the Sky," "The Thunder Birds Blinking Zigzag Lightning," and "The Mysterious Spirits of Trees and Flowers." Under an open sky, nestling close to the earth, the old Dakota story-tellers have told me these legends.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[...]hurry off! Stop! halt!" urged one of the singers. "Stop! stay! Show us what is in your blanket!" cried out other voices. "My friends, I must not spoil your dance. Oh, you would not care to see if you only knew what is in my blanket. Sing on! dance on! I must not show you what I carry on my back," answered Iktomi, nudging his own sides with his elbows. This reply broke up the ring entirely. Now all the ducks crowded about Iktomi. "We must see what you carry! We must know what is in your blanket!" they shouted in both his ears. Some even brushed their wings against the mysterious bundle. Nudging himself again, wily Iktomi said, "My friends, 't is only a pack of songs I carry in my blanket." "Oh, then let us hear your songs!" cried the curious ducks. At length Iktomi consented to sing his songs. With delight all the ducks flapped their wings and cried together, "Hoye! hoye!" Iktomi, with great care, laid down his bundle on the ground. "I will build first a round straw house, for I never sing my songs in the open air," said he. Quickly he bent green willow sticks, planting both ends of each pole into[...]".
