The Best Short Stories by Rudyard Kipling

ISBN: 9781853261794 PUBLISHER: Wordsworth Editions Ltd FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 240 PUBLICATION DATE: 5.05.1997 DIMENSIONS: 198mmX129mmX12mm 145grams

DESCRIPTION: The diverse tales selected for this volume display the astonishing virtuosity of Rudyard Kipling's early writings. A Nobel prize-winner, Kipling was phenomenally productive and imaginative, displaying a literary mastery of idioms, technology and technical terms, exotic locations, and social range. He gained immense popularity, becoming (as these stories indicate) the knowledgeable spokesman for a wide public. Later, although Kipling's right-wing views increasingly incurred hostility, his creativity remained formidable. In this rich collection, we encounter bold realism, poignant nostalgia, dark comedy, the vividly horrific, the exuberantly fanciful and the disturbingly uncanny.
