Far travels of the Little Pilgrim. The author calls himself the Little Pilgrim—because of his appearance, due to his small stature. However, the Little Pilgrim’s ambitions were completely out of proportion: while traveling, he viewed the world as a stage for the actions of his fellow countrymen, “servants of the British Empire.”
The book by the well-known English writer R. Kipling (1865–1936) consists of sketches about the author’s travel impressions from his journey in 1889 from India to England through the countries of Southeast Asia and North America. The book is written in a vivid and vivid language. Readers will enjoy descriptions of nature, the author’s observations of the life and culture of various peoples, and his meeting with M. Twain.
