조셉 러디어드 키플링Later stories in the collection shift toward more introspective and imaginative narratives. They explore the complexities of fate, belief, and the blurred boundaries between reality and illusion. “The Maltese Cat” uses sport as a metaphor for strategy and character, while “The Brushwood Boy” delves into dreams and psychological transformation. Humor and satire appear more prominently, challenging rigid structures of thought and society. Kipling blends realism with speculative elements, experimenting with time, perception, and coincidence. These stories reveal a softer, more philosophical side of his writing. Ultimately, they reflect on the personal cost of duty and the inner lives of those shaped by empire.
