Rudyard Kipling
Life's Handicap
London: Macmillan and Co. 1891. First edition. Hardcover. This is the English first edition of Kipling�s collection of short stories. To all of the stories collected in Mine Own People except �A conference of the Powers� later to be included in Many Intentions 1893 in this volume Kipling added sixteen additional stories and one poem. This English first edition preceded its U.S. counterpart which was published one month later. The book is bound in blue cloth with gilt print on the spine ornamental gilt border at the spine head and upper front cover blind stamped ornamental border at the bottom of the spine and front cover and blind-stamped publisher�s device at the rear cover center. This copy is in good condition worn but sound. The binding remains tight with a forward lean overall light scuffing wear to extremities and minor chipping at the spine head. The modestly age-toned contents show no previous ownership marks and only light spotting primarily confined to the first and final leaves and page edges. The original dark green endpapers are intact though with a cosmetic split to the rear pastedown gutter that does not affect binding integrity. This book came to us from the library of Nelson Doubleday Jr. son of Nelson Doubleday and grandson of Frank Nelson Doubleday Kipling�s friend and U.S. publisher and founder of the Doubleday publishing empire. F.N. Doubleday began work in the publishing industry working for Charles Scribner�s Sons. His 18-year career with Scribner�s included the task of assembling a complete set of Kipling's works for publication in a collected edition in 1897. His work with Kipling on this endeavor sparked a friendship and partnership that lasted for decades. Kipling affectionately gave Doubleday the nickname "Effendi" a play on the initials of his name - F.N.D. Frank's son Nelson was president of the firm from 1922 to 1946 as was Nelson Jr. from 1978 to 1983. Iconic English poet short-story writer and novelist Joseph Rudyard Kipling 1865-1936 is chiefly remembered for his celebration of British imperialism tales and poems of British soldiers in India and his tales for children.� Despite this reputation Kipling�s extraordinary body of work �eludes all labels in its range and variety� Kipling's work is not only of the highest artistic excellence it is deeply humane and fully expresses the sense of one of his favourite texts: �Praised be Allah for the diversity of his creatures.�� ODNB Kipling was in his twenties when his stories of Anglo-Indian life made him a literary celebrity and he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1907.� Born in India and educated in England Kipling could not afford to attend either Oxford or Cambridge University and instead returned to India to work as a newspaper editor and writer which proved formative.� He returned to England in 1889 later living in the United States and South Africa before finally settling in England. Owing mostly to ill health Kipling's production of original work diminished in the years between the end of the First World War and his death. Kipling remains the youngest person to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature and was also the first English language author awarded.
