réf. 021177[Napoléon] Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936), écrivain anglais, prix Nobel de littérature 1907. L.S., Burwash, 6 juin 1927, 1p in-4. A l'historien Joseph Coudurier de Chassaigne (1878-1961), en anglais, pour le remercier de l'envoi de son livre. On notera cette belle phrase sur Napoléon dont l'importance est similaire à la chute d'un astéroïde sur la terre. « Dear Coudurier, That superb History of Napoleon (for it is little less than that) came in a couple of days ago, and your letter later. I make haste to send you my most grateful thanks before I send it off to be bound as a treasure.. My compliments on the last clause of your Preface. Yes, his impact on the world (to extend your comparison) was like that of an asteroid from out of space - making a crater, it is true, but affecting atmosphere and events in every quarter of the world. With renewed and most grateful thanks, Very sincerely yours, Rudyard Kipling ». [520]

1902réf. 8119London: Macmillan and Co. Limited 1902. First edition. Fine. A Fine copy. Finely bound in full red crushed morocco possibly by Asprey though unsigned with pictorial gilt elephant. Complete with twenty-two plates and text illustrations throughout. Spine in compartments with raised bands and elephant motif. All edges gilt. Marbled endpapers. Original cloth cover bound in at rear. A very attractive example clean and bright throughout in a charming binding. A classic work of children's literature and one of Kipling's most beloved titles Just So Stories compiles origin tales like "How the Leopard Got its Spots" and "How the Elephant Got his Trunk" and "How the Camel Got His Hump." The book was charmingly illustrated by Kipling himself who reported that the stories were born of out the bedtime tales that he told his daughter. Kipling is of course best known for The Jungle Book and its sequel which earned him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1907 and secured his place in the canon of English storytelling. Based on folktales and legends that Kipling learned during his childhood in India the Jungle Books were met with huge success upon publication and continue to enthrall readers of all ages to this day. According to Professor Edwin L. Miller their publication "caused even severe critics of Kipling's previous work to admit that he is a writer of inspired genius." Largely focused on man's relationship to nature the Jungle Books in part narrate the tales of Mowgli a human "man-cub" raised by wolves as he tries to find his proper place in the world. For contributions like these Kipling became the first English-language writer and the youngest ever to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature. Fine. Macmillan and Co., Limited unknown
