Born in British India, he was sent to England for education and later returned to India to work in journalism. Kipling's storytelling captured the complexities of the British Empire and the diverse cultures within it. His writing is characterized by a mastery of language and a blend of realism with elements of the fantastic. Among Kipling's most famous works are 'The Jungle Book' (1894), 'Kim' (1901), and 'Just So Stories' (1902). The story 'An Habitation Enforced' showcases Kipling's nuanced understanding of English societal norms, explored through the experiences of an American couple integrating into English rural life. Kipling's work earned him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1907, making him the first English-language author to receive the award. His literary style often reflects his support for the British imperial order, yet also reveals a deep empathy for individuals, particularly those on the fringes of society.
