About Rudyard Kipling
Rudyard Kipling was an English novelist, poet and short story writer, and was one of the most influential writers of his generation. He first garnered recognition for his writing while living in India, which at that time was a British colony, before moving back to England, where his reputation only grew. In 1907, he became the first English-language writer to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature for his “power of observation, originality of imagination, virility of ideas and remarkable talent for narration”. However, he has also been criticized for his celebration of European imperialism and his belief that white people had a duty to “civilize” other nations, as expressed in his 1899 poem “The White Man’s Burden”.This practical and insightful reading guide offers a complete summary and analysis of Kim by Rudyard Kipling.
