About the author
Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936) was an English journalist, short-story writer, poet, and novelist, born in Bombay, then part of British India. Kipling's works of fiction include 'The Jungle Book' (1894), 'Kim' (1901), and the short stories 'The Man Who Would Be King' (1888). His poems include 'Mandalay' (1890), 'Gunga Din' (1890), and 'If—' (1910). He was one of the most popular writers in the United Kingdom during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and the first English-language writer to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907. Celebrated for his tales and poems of British soldiers in India, and his tales for children, Kipling's standing as a literary figure has been complex and variable. He has been both admired for his storytelling and craftsmanship, and criticized for his views on empire and race. The 'Complete Poetry of Rudyard Kipling – Premium Collection' encompasses over 570 poems, showcasing his remarkable breadth as a poet and his ability to engage with themes ranging from the imperial and the heroic to the whimsical and domestic. Kipling's literary style is characterized by his use of rhythm, allegory, and sardonic wit, as well as his creation of a range of compelling characters, drawn from both his childhood in British India and from his keen observation of the British society of his time.
