Kipling leghíresebb, legnépszerűbb műve, a Dzsungel könyve, több mint száz éve született. Nemzedékek nőttek fel Maugli, a farkaskölyökként nevelkedett kisfiú kalandjain, aki Balúval a medvével, Bagirával a párduccal és Kaaval az óriáskígyóval járja a dzsungel ösvényeit. Az emberkölyök legyőzi Sir Kánt, a tigrist, kiszabadul a majmok fogságából, megvédi otthonát a vörös kutyák hordájától. Időről-időre találkozik az emberek világával, de igazi otthona a dzsungel marad.

"Il diavolo e l'abisso" è uno straordinario e appassionante racconto lungo, pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1895 sul numero natalizio del settimanale The Graphic. Il racconto narra dell'avventura finale di un grande piroscafo adoperato per missioni piuttosto dubbie, che cambia continuamente nome. Un giorno, infatti, camuffato da baleniera e battente bandiera britannica, viene intercettato e, infine, braccato da una cannoniera nei mari dell'Indonesia, dove di balene, per l'appunto, non se ne sono mai viste.

"La mia domenica in patria" è uno dei quattro racconti appartenenti alla raccolta "Il diavolo e l'abisso", dove emerge uno dei lati meno conosciuti e, tuttavia, estremamente originali di Rudyard Kipling, autore noto soprattutto per "Il libro della giungla". In questo insolito racconto è lo stesso autore a narrare ai lettori la storia in prima persona. Tutto ha inizio da un viaggio in treno in compagnia di un medico, figura singolare che innescherà una catena di eventi fatta di errori, sviste ed equivoci che la penna dell'autore ha voluto fissare nel tempo.

Quattro racconti – introvabili da tempo in Italia e mai raccolti insieme – caratterizzati da un preciso senso dell'avventura e da un graffiante umorismo venato di aspetti satirici. Uno dei lati meno noti e tuttavia originalissimi dell'autore di "Kim", "Il libro della giungla", "Capitani coraggiosi" e "L'uomo che volle farsi Re". A "Il diavolo e l'abisso", primo straordinario e travolgente racconto lungo, in una nuova traduzione, se ne aggiungono altri tre: "La nave che trovò se stessa", "La mia domenica in patria" e "Pane nell'acqua".
