Perihal pengarang
Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936), born in British India, was an influential English writer, famously known for his works of fiction, poetry, and short stories. His literary style often reflected imperialist themes, overlaid with elements of fantasy, allegory, and a keen observation of human nature and society. A hallmark of Kipling's writing is his deep understanding and vivid depiction of the British colonial experience, coupled with deep insight into the culture and people of the subcontinent. Kipling's 'Puck of Pook's Hill' (1906) is a notable example, presenting a tapestry of historical fantasy. Here, he intertwines elements of English folklore with real historical figures, delivering powerful short stories and poems that delve into England's past with reverence and imagination. His narrative technique in the book reflects his broader literary practice, which often blurred the lines between reality and fantasy, a stylistic approach that was innovative for his time. Kipling was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1907, the first English-language writer to receive the honour, recognized for his remarkable contributions to literature, which also include classics such as 'The Jungle Book' (1894) and 'Kim' (1901). His works continue to be celebrated and scrutinized for their complex interplay of morality, duty, and cultural identity.
