Life's Handicap, Vol. 1 of 2: Being Stories of Mine Own People (Classic Reprint) by Rudyard Kipling (Paperback / softback, 2015)

Excerpt from Life's Handicap, Vol. 1 of 2: Being Stories of Mine Own People In Northern India stood a monastery called The Chubara of Dhunni Bhagat. No one remembered who or what Dhunni Bhagat had been. He had lived his life, made a little money, and spent it all, as every good Hindu should do, on a work of piety - the Chubara. That was full of brick cells, gaily painted with the figures of Gods and kings and elephants, where worn-out priests could sit and meditate on the latter end of things: the paths were brick paved, and the naked feet of thousands had worn them into gutters. Clumps of mangoes sprouted from between the bricks; great pipal trees overhung the well-windlass that whined all day; and hosts of parrots tore through the trees. Crows and squirrels were tame in that place, for they knew that never a priest would touch them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
