Rudyard Kipling 
The Day’s Work [EPUB ebook] 

Rudyard Kipling collected the short stories he had published in various magazines in the mid-1890s into ‚The Day’s Work‘, published in 1898.
In ‚The Day’s Work‘, Kipling uses a series of short stories to examine labour and employment in a variety of different industries, be it shipping, transport or bridge building. The result is a masterly collection of writings dealing with such eternal themes as family dependency, obedience to command, and loyalty against all the odds.
Some of the stories include: ‚
A Walking Delegate, ‚ ‚
The Bridge-Builders, ‚ ‚
The Tomb of His Ancestors, ‚ and ‚
William the Conquerer, ‚ among others.
