Abaft The Funnel by Rudyard Kipling ~ Full Audiobook [adventure]

Abaft The Funnel by Rudyard Kipling audiobook. Genre: adventure Abaft the Funnel gathers Rudyard Kipling's sharp-eyed tales and sketches of men living where comfort ends and work begins: on ships running the China seas, in steamy ports, and in the cramped social worlds that travel with the British Empire. The opening pieces drop you aboard the Whanghoa, where a ship's routine is thrown delightfully off-balance by Erastasius, a cat with a gift for mischief and an instinct for finding trouble. citeturn1view0 From there, Kipling shifts tone and latitude: a smoky night in Manila, a hard lesson in responsibility, and portraits of officers, drifters, and professionals whose reputations can rise or collapse on a single choice. One narrator, in a late-hour dive, recognizes a ruined stranger by the coded fellowship of their shared schooling and listens as the man edges toward confession. citeturn0search3 Across the collection, Kipling writes with brisk humor and sudden seriousness, peering past the polished decks and parlor talk to the pressures below - pride, duty, appetite, fear, and the price of belonging. These stories are less about grand voyages than the human machinery that keeps them moving. citeturn1view0 For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate) (00:00:00) Chapter 01 (00:11:53) Chapter 02 (00:21:06) Chapter 03 (00:27:33) Chapter 04 (00:35:06) Chapter 05 (00:43:20) Chapter 06 (00:52:45) Chapter 07 (01:03:33) Chapter 08 (01:11:58) Chapter 09 (01:24:15) Chapter 10 (01:32:59) Chapter 11 (01:40:03) Chapter 12 (01:49:01) Chapter 13 (02:00:34) Chapter 14 (02:14:16) Chapter 15 (02:35:31) Chapter 16 (02:59:05) Chapter 17 (03:22:35) Chapter 18 (03:51:19) Chapter 19 (04:01:24) Chapter 20 (04:04:55) Chapter 21 (04:45:22) Chapter 22 (04:52:56) Chapter 23 (05:00:15) Chapter 24 (05:09:35) Chapter 25 (05:20:38) Chapter 26 (05:31:04) Chapter 27 (05:47:15) Chapter 28 (05:55:42) Chapter 29 (06:06:16) Chapter 30 (06:16:17) Chapter 31 Learn more about your ad choices.
