Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a trajectory of literary legend Rudyard Kipling. It begins with his birth in 1865 in India to an artistic family, his return to England aged five, and his return to India aged seventeen to begin his literary career. It addresses his career as an Anglo-Indian journalist, his early satirical poetry, his first collection of tales Plain Tales from the Hills and his rise to fame following its publication. The work also discusses his trip to the US in 1889, his return to London, his marriage in 1891, and his work in Vermont from 1892 to 1896 before returning to England. The final chapters concern his worsening health, his eventual death in 1936, his unique writing style and the global impact of his work. The book reflects on his status as the most famous writer in the English language and a literary giant whose tales of the human condition remain as fresh and insightful today as they were at the peak of his fame.
