Beschreibung

Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was an English author and poet. In 1917 he was the first Englishman to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature. Kipling was born in Bombay, British India. Many of his works have an Indian flavor and setting. His best known are The Jungle Book (1894), The Second Jungle Book (1895), and Just So Stories (1902). Kipling begins by saying, "I have collected in this volume practically all the verses and chapter-headings scattered through my books. In several cases where only a few lines of verse were originally used, I have given in full the song, etc., from which they were taken." This is an excellent reference work for anyone interesting in the works of Kipling.

Autor

Rudyard Kipling (1865 1936) was a British author and poet who was born in Bombay, British India. As seen by his evocative depictions of colonial life, Kipling's early years in India had a profound influence on his later works. A large portion of his early years were spent apart from his parents; this is portrayed in his narrative "The Jungle Book." With a wide variety of works, including novels, poetry, and short tales, Kipling's creative career took off. His most famous works are "Kim," a book set in British India, and "The Jungle Book," an anthology of tales that went on to become a classic in children's literature. Kipling was the youngest recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature when it was granted in 1907. Themes of imperialism, patriotism, and the intricacies of cross-cultural relationships were frequently covered in his writings. Because of his imperialist beliefs, Kipling's legacy has come under fire even though he was quite popular during his lifetime. However, his place in literary history has been cemented by his ability to fascinate readers with his storytelling prowess and his effect on adventure literature.
