The Light that Failed closely reflects the young Kipling's life at this time. His hero, Dick Heldar, an orphan, has been brought up with Maisie, another orphan, by a guardian.
After roughing it about the world as a 'war artist', Dick comes to London and sudden success... and, by chance, meets and falls in love with Maisie. But Maisie is cold, totally absorbed in her own career as a painter...
Soon Dick's fatal passion is destroying him, and he mysteriously begins to go blind. In desperation, he returns to the masculine world of war, to meet his tragic fate in Egypt, where his finest work was done.
