The Day’s Work
Read it in the Library After Dark Or read it as plain textStories from 1898 about people, and machines, doing their jobs: an engineer whose great bridge over the Ganges must survive a flood, a new ship whose plates and rivets learn to work together, an American locomotive finding its place in the roundhouse. Kipling admired competence wherever he found it, and here he gives it voices. “William the Conqueror”, a love story set among the famine relief camps of southern India, is among his best.
