Editorial Reviews:
Bombay-born English writer Rudyard Kipling explores cross-cultural conflict in "The Mark of the Beast".
The 1907 Nobel Prize winners story, first published in 1890, is about a newcomer to India named Fleete. When the Englishman obliviously puts out a cigar on a holy statue in the temple of Hanuman, a priest bites him. The bite causes a violent transformation within Fleete, and his friends must find a cure for his madness.
Walter Covell uses a genteel British accent that suits Kiplings 19th-century fable about the perils of cultural insensitivity.

Brevity is Wit
I bought this book because I wanted a short length listen that I could relax with. I was not familiar with the book at all, I had only heard of the author. I was tremendously impressed with the book. A fabulously told short story that I am sure I will listen to many times. The Narrator does a very fine job, very believable as the story teller. I would highly recommend this book to anyone.
