Rudyard Kipling

Capitaines courageux

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

La porte claqua encore une fois, et, svelte, élancé, un garçon de peut-être quinze ans, une cigarette à demi fumée tombant au coin de la bouche, se pencha à l'intérieur par-dessus le haut marchepied. Son teint jaune et pâteux ne parlait guère en faveur de quelqu'un de son âge, et son regard offrait un mélange d'irrésolution, de bravade et de très mauvais chic. Il était habillé d'un veston cerise, de knickerbockers, de bas rouges et de souliers de bicycliste, avec une casquette de flanelle rouge au bas de la nuque.

Autorenporträt

Joseph Rudyard Kipling (1865 - 1936) was an English journalist, short-story writer, poet and novelist. Kipling's works of fiction include The Jungle Book (1894), Kim (1901) and many short stories, including "The Man Who Would Be King" (1888). His poems include "Mandalay" (1890), "Gunga Din" (1890), "The Gods of the Copybook Headings" (1919), "The White Man's Burden" (1899), and "If-" (1910). He is regarded as a major innovator in the art of the short story; his children's books are classics of children's literature and one critic described his work as exhibiting "a versatile and luminous narrative gift". Kipling was one of the most popular writers in the United Kingdom, in both prose and verse, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Henry James said: "Kipling strikes me personally as the most complete man of genius (as distinct from fine intelligence) that I have ever known." In 1907, at the age of 41, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, making him the first English-language writer to receive the prize and its youngest recipient to date.
