Then Rikki-tikki went out into the garden to see what was to be seen. It was a large garden- only half cultivated- with bushes as big as summer-houses of Marshal Niel roses; lime and orange trees.' (Excerpt from text)

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.
