Autorenporträt
Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was a prolific English writer and poet, born in Bombay, India, during the British Raj. He is best known for his rich storytelling, which often incorporated his experiences of and views on the British Empire. Kipling's most renowned works include 'The Jungle Book' (1894) and 'The Second Jungle Book' (1895), which are collections of stories that exhibit his inventive use of anthropomorphism, weaving tales about the adventures of Mowgli, a boy raised by wolves, and other feral characters in the Indian jungle. These narrations not only display his creative prose style but also delve into the rudimentary laws and ethos of the wild, juxtaposed with imperialistic themes that explore the moral fabric of civilization and nature. Kipling's storytelling espouses a narrative technique that comfortably straddles the lines between fable, myth, and allegory, often tinged with a didactic quality that was aimed at the moral instruction of his readers. His narratives have had a lasting impact on Western perceptions of childhood, the jungle, and the animal kingdom, and continue to be celebrated for their imaginative prowess and linguistic dexterity. For his contribution to literature, Kipling was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1907, becoming the first English-language recipient to be so honored.
