Stories and Poems / Rudyard Kipling

Public ISBD Title : Stories and Poems Material Type: printed text Authors: Rudyard Kipling, Author Publisher: Oxford [United Kingdom] : Oxford university press Publication Date: 2015 Series: Oxford world's classics Pagination: 1 vol. (699 p.) Layout: couv. ill. en coul. Size: 20 cm. ISBN (or other code): 978-0-19-872343-1 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: 823 English fiction : novel Class number: 823.8 Abstract: Rudyard Kipling is a supreme master of the short story in English and a poet of brilliant gifts. His energy and inventiveness poured themselves into every kind of tale, from the bleakest of fables to the richest of comedies, and he illuminated every aspect of human behaviour, of which he was a fascinated (and sometimes appalled) observer. This generous selection of stories and poems, first published in the acclaimed Oxford Authors series, covers the full range of Kipling's career from the youthful volumes that brought him fame as the chronicler of British India, to the bittersweet fruits of age and bereavement in the aftermath of the First World War. It includes stories such as 'The Man who would be King', 'Mrs Bathurst', and 'Mary Postgate', and poems from Barrack-RoomBallads and other collections. In his introduction and notes Daniel Karlin addresses the controversial political engagement of Kipling's art, and the sources of its imaginative power.
