Boards rubbed hinges starting ink name and notes. vi 413 pp. A collection of poetry by Rudyard Kipling. Joseph Rudyard Kipling 30 December 1865 – 18 January 1936 was an English novelist short-story writer poet and journalist. He was born in British India which inspired much of his work. Kipling's works of fiction include the Jungle Book duology The Jungle Book 1894; The Second Jungle Book 1895 Kim 1901 the Just So Stories 1902 and many short stories including "The Man Who Would Be King" 1888. His poems include "Mandalay" 1890 "Gunga Din" 1890 "The Gods of the Copybook Headings" 1919 "The White Man's Burden" 1899 and "If—" 1910. He is seen as an innovator in the art of the short story. His children's books are classics; one critic noted "a versatile and luminous narrative gift". Kipling in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was among the United Kingdom's most popular writers. Henry James said "Kipling strikes me personally as the most complete man of genius as distinct from fine intelligence that I have ever known." In 1907 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature as the first English-language writer to receive the prize and at 41 its youngest recipient to date. He was also sounded out for the British Poet Laureateship and several times for a knighthood but declined both. Following his death in 1936 his ashes were interred at Poets' Corner part of the South Transept of Westminster Abbey. Kipling's subsequent reputation has changed with the political and social climate of the age. The contrasting views of him continued for much of the 20th century. Literary critic Douglas Kerr wrote: "Kipling is still an author who can inspire passionate disagreement and his place in literary and cultural history is far from settled. But as the age of the European empires recedes he is recognised as an incomparable if controversial interpreter of how empire was experienced. That and an increasing recognition of his extraordinary narrative gifts make him a force to be reckoned with." The collection of Barrack-Room Ballads was issued in March 1892 first published individually for the most part in 1890 and contained his poems "Mandalay" and "Gunga Din". A.L.

Beast and Man in India: A Popular Sketch of Indian Animals in their Relations with the People Hardcover

2023ref. BIBHB0139115492023. Hardcover. New. About The Book: The late Mogul and Pindari era in India although unpleasant to discuss can be aptly described as cruel. Despite the Hindu system's ability to preserve Brahmanical laws during centuries of turmoil the common people who interacted with animals were inevitably demoralized. As a result the general principles of mercy for the masses gave way to mere ritual observances for the privileged few. Furthermore the existing precepts of mercy have been exaggerated in reports. To ensure that it is not forgotten the book has been republished in a modern format that is easy to read. When an act was passed in 1890 to prevent cruelty to animals some people in England were surprised assuming that Orientals were inherently merciful. However those familiar with India understand that cruelty like drunkenness has long been entrenched in the culture of Eastern nations and such insinuations are unfounded. The prevailing view in cultivated Europe regarding the Eastern attitude towards animals is expressed in a sentence by Mr. Lecky who concludes that it is similar to that of all nations under heaven.
