This new collection includes such impressive classics as "The Gods of the Copybook Headings," "The City of Brass," "Recessional," "Jubal and Tubal Cain," "When Earth's Last Picture Is Painted," "If," and many, many more.

This new collection includes such impressive classics as "The Gods of the Copybook Headings," "The City of Brass," "Recessional," "Jubal and Tubal Cain," "When Earth's Last Picture Is Painted," "If," and many, many more. With prophetic vision, Rudyard Kipling's timeless verse speaks clearly to our own times. He was a keen observer of human nature-and of his times-which were much like our times: government leaders who were inept or corrupt or both, foreign conflicts that never seemed to end (or simply cropped up in other places), a populace who had largely forgotten God, and a general confusion about what was right and what was wrong. "Kipling was something rarer than a philosopher; he was a prophet," wrote T. S. Eliot. "He had a gift for prophecy." Kipling's warning voice sounds a clarion call to the troubled and stumbling world of the 21st century.

Autorenporträt
Rudyard Kipling was born in 1865 in British India, where his early experiences shaped much of his later writing. Growing up in Bombay, he was influenced by the rich cultural backdrop of colonial India, which provided a vibrant foundation for his stories. After being sent to England for schooling, Kipling returned to India as a young adult, beginning his career in journalism and publishing his early works.In 1907, Kipling became the first English-language writer to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. His stories, such as The Jungle Book and Kim, established him as one of the most significant literary figures of his time. Kipling's exploration of British imperialism, coupled with his narrative brilliance, stirred both admiration and controversy. Despite debates over his political views, Kipling's legacy endures through his masterful storytelling and his role as a chronicler of the British Empire's complexities.Later in life, Kipling faced personal losses, including the death of his son in World War I. He continued writing, but the grief profoundly impacted his outlook. Kipling passed away in 1936, leaving behind a body of work that remains influential, and his ashes were interred at Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey.
