Book excerpt: Rudyard Kipling was born in Bombay in 1865 and spent his early years there, before being sent, aged six, to England, a desperately unhappy experience. Charles Allen's great-grandfather brought the sixteen-year-old Kipling out to Lahore to work on The Civil and Military Gazette with the words 'Kipling will do', and thus set young Rudyard on his literary course. And so it was that at the start of the cold weather of 1882 he stepped ashore at Bombay on 18 October 1882 - 'a prince entering his kingdom'. He stayed for seven years during which he wrote the work that established him as a popular and critical, sometimes controversial, success. Charles Allen has written a brilliant account of those years - of an Indian childhood and coming of age, of abandonment in England, of family and Empire. He traces the Indian experiences of Kipling's parents, Lockwood and Alice and reveals what kind of culture the young writer was born into and then returned to when still a teenager. It is a work of fantastic sympathy for a man - though not blind to Kipling's failings - and the country he loved.

Download or read book Kipling and Trix written by Mary Hamer and published by Aurora Metro Publications Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-11-21 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE VIRGINIA PRIZE FOR FICTION As young children, Rudyard and his sister ‘Trix’ flourished in the brilliant warmth and colour of India. Their happiness ended abruptly when they were sent back to England to live with a strict and god-fearing foster family. Both became writers, although one lived in the shadow of the other’s extraordinary success. The name Rudyard Kipling is known to millions, but what became of his talented younger sister? She was careful to hide her secret life even from those closest to her. Mary Hamer’s fascinating novel brings both Kipling and Trix vividly to life. In this fictionalised account of their lives, she goes to the heart of the relationship between a difficult brother and his troubled sister. Hamer peels back the historical record to reveal the obsessions which fuelled Kipling and his sister. Was he really better equipped to deal with conflict, heartbreak and loss than his beloved Trix? Review 'A historical delight' -Waterstones 'Hamer's book opens up the complex world of the Kiplings, moving between continents and momentous world events' -Daily Mail 'Illuminating new study... She writes clearly, pleasantly, and with a blessed absence of jargon.' -Times Literary Supplement 'Mary Hamer's Kipling and Trix elegantly walks the borders between fact and fiction in her retelling of Rudyard Kipling's story and his relationship with his sister Trix' - Historical Novel Society 'The childhood scenes are particularly compelling, revealing how brother and sister, though dependents, were gradually becoming rivals....The book is a rich collage of potent scenes - you shift viewpoint and we see Rud and Trix through the eyes of many others.' - Pam Johnson, Words Unlimited About the Author Mary Hamer was born in Birmingham. After reading English at Oxford she taught for the next twenty years and published works of non-fiction, before embarking at last on the adventure of imaginative writing.Kipling and Trix is her fifth book and first novel.

Download or read book Politics and Awe in Rudyard Kipling s Fiction written by Peter Havholm and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been a resurgence of interest in Kipling among critics who struggle to reconcile the multiple pleasures offered by his fiction with the controversial political ideas that inform it. Peter Havholm takes up the challenge, piecing together Kipling's understanding of empire and humanity from evidence in Anglo-Indian and Indian newspapers of the 1870s and 1880s and offering a new explanation for Kipling's post-1891 turn to fantasy and stories written to be enjoyed by children. By dovetailing detailed contextual knowledge of British India with informed and sensitive close readings of well-known works like 'The Man Who Would Be King',' Kim', 'The Light That Failed', and 'They', Havholm offers a fresh reading of Kipling's early and late stories that acknowledges Kipling's achievement as a writer and illuminates the seductive allure of the imperialist fantasy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Complete Works of Rudyard Kipling (Illustrated) is a comprehensive collection of the renowned author's literary works, showcasing his diverse writing styles and deep understanding of the human experience. Kipling's masterful use of language and vivid imagery transports readers to the far-flung corners of the British Empire, where his stories are often set. From his iconic poem 'If' to his classic novel 'Kim', this collection offers a rich tapestry of Kipling's literary genius. The inclusion of illustrations adds an extra layer of richness to the reading experience, bringing Kipling's characters and settings to life. With themes of imperialism, identity, and morality woven throughout his works, Kipling's writing continues to captivate readers and scholars alike. Rudyard Kipling, a product of British colonialism in India, drew heavily from his own experiences in the Empire to craft his tales. His unique perspective as an outsider looking in offered insights into the complexities of power dynamics and cultural clashes. Kipling's work reflects the political and social climate of his time, offering a valuable lens through which to examine history and human nature. I highly recommend The Complete Works of Rudyard Kipling (Illustrated) to readers who appreciate rich storytelling, nuanced characters, and thought-provoking themes. This collection is a treasure trove of literary gems that will leave a lasting impact on anyone who delves into Kipling's world.
