Sobre l'autor

Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936) was an English journalist, short-story writer, poet, and novelist, who emerged as one of the most significant literary figures of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in British India and having spent his early childhood there, Kipling's exposure to the complexities of colonial life deeply influenced his writing, imbuing it with a unique insight into the British Empire. His most renowned works, such as 'The Jungle Book' (1894), 'Kim' (1901), and the poem 'If—' (1895), are distinguished by their vivid storytelling, complex characters, and a profound understanding of human nature and social dynamics. Kipling received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1907, becoming the youngest recipient at that time, and the first English-language writer to receive the honor. He is also noted for his innovations in the short story genre, his versatile use of meter in poetry, and his use of language that echoed the vernacular of soldiers and colonial officials, which can be found in the 'Rudyard Kipling Ultimate Collection (Illustrated).' Kipling's literary style combined elements of romantic imperialism, adventure, and realism, often reflecting moral ambiguities and the burdens of empire. Despite the controversy surrounding his imperialist views, Kipling remains a significant cultural icon whose works have left a lasting legacy on English literature.
