Best.-Nr. 150490Rare print of Rudyard Kipling's poem Being a Man more commonly referred to as "If-". One page typed. Boldly signed by author Cormac McCarthy at the bottom right corner. Cormac McCarthy 1933–2023 was an American novelist whose stark prose and often violent themes earned him recognition as one of the most influential literary voices of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. His best-known works include Blood Meridian 1985 regarded as a masterpiece of the American West and frontier violence and the Border Trilogy—All the Pretty Horses 1992 The Crossing 1994 and Cities of the Plain 1998—which brought him both critical acclaim and commercial success with All the Pretty Horses winning the National Book Award. Later No Country for Old Men 2005 and The Road 2006 achieved bestseller status with the latter earning him the Pulitzer Prize and cementing his reputation as a chronicler of human survival and moral ambiguity. In near fine condition. The piece measures 6 inches by 7.5 inches. Housed in a hand-made cloth folder by the Harcourt Bindery. "If—" first appeared in the "Brother Square Toes" chapter of the book Rewards and Fairies a collection of Kipling's poetry and short-story fiction published in 1910. In his posthumously published autobiography Something of Myself 1937 Kipling said that in writing the poem he was inspired by the character of Leander Starr Jameson leader of the failed Jameson Raid against the Transvaal Republic to overthrow the Boer Government of Paul Kruger. The failure of that mercenary coup d'état aggravated the political tensions between Great Britain and the Boers which led to the Second Boer War 1899–1902.As an evocation of Victorian-era stoicism—the "stiff upper lip" self-discipline which popular culture rendered into a British national virtue and character trait "If—" remains a cultural touchstone. hardcover

2023Best.-Nr. 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. About The Author: John Lockwood Kipling CIE 1837�1911 was an English art teacher illustrator and museum curator who spent most of his career in India. He was the father of the author Rudyard Kipling.
