Tentang pengarang
Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936) was an English journalist, short-story writer, poet, and novelist, best known for his tales of British soldiers in India and his children's stories. Kipling was born in Bombay, India, where he spent his early years before moving to England for his education. He returned to India in 1882 and worked for several years in journalism. Kipling's literary career was extremely successful, earning him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1907, making him the first English-language writer to receive the award and its youngest recipient to date. One of his notable short stories is 'The Courting of Dinah Shadd,' which features in his collection 'Life's Handicap' (1891). The story is known for its vivid characterization and insight into the life of British soldiers. Kipling's works usually include elements of wit and deep understanding of the British Empire's soldierly life, and his writing style often combines realism with storytelling. His other celebrated works include 'The Jungle Book' (1894), 'Kim' (1901), and 'If—' (1910). Kipling's works reflect his keen observation of society and his experiences in India, weaving social commentary into narratives that often carry a moral lesson. Despite some criticism over imperialist sentiments, Kipling remains a significant figure in English literature for his storytelling prowess and contribution to children's literature.
