Introduction and Notes by R.T. Jones, Honorary Fellow of the University of York.This edition of the poetry of Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) includes all the poems contained in the Definitive Edition of 1940. In his lifetime, Kipling was widely regarded as the unofficial Poet Laureate, and he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907. His poetry is striking for its many rhythms and popular forms of speech, and Kipling was equally at home with dramatic monologues and extended ballads.He is often thought of as glorifying war, militarism, and the British Empire, but an attentive reading of the poems does not confirm that view. This edition reprints George Orwell's hard-hitting account of Kipling's poems, first published in 1942, and generally regarded as one of the most important contributions to critical discussion of Kipling.

Mästerliga noveller om det sällsamma och övernaturliga
»Kipling framstår för mig som det mest kompletta geni jag någonsin har känt.« Henry James
Under sin långa karriär som författare återvände Rudyard Kipling ofta till det övernaturliga och drömska, och de åtta novellerna i detta urval är utmärkta prov på vilken framträdande plats det oförklarliga har i hans författarskap. »Vilddjurets märke« – som fått ge namn åt denna volym – är en mästerligt otäck skräckhistoria. Bland de övriga berättelserna återfinns den prosapoetiska »De fruktansvärda nätternas stad« och den smärtsamt vackra och suggestiva novellen »De«. Vilddjurets märke och andra berättelser visar en sida av Kiplings författarskap som alltför ofta hamnat i skymundan, men som än i dag drabbar oss med oförminskad styrka. Novellerna vittnar om visionen hos ett intellekt som sökte drömmen, och fann den i form av sällsamma berättelser. I översättning av Arthur Isfelt, med ett nyskrivet förord av författaren och kritikern Torbjörn Elensky.Denna utgåva är framtagen i samarbete mellan Modernista och Hastur förlag.
JOSEPH RUDYARD KIPLING [1865–1936] var en brittisk författare och journalist, född i Indien. Under det sena 1800-talet och tidiga 1900-talet var han en av Storbritanniens mest populära författare, både i prosa och vers. Till hans mest kända verk hör romanerna Djungelboken [1894] och Kim [1901], men han betraktas också som en av de stora nydanarna inom novellkonsten. 1907, vid 41 års ålder, tilldelades han Nobelpriset i litteratur.

The Jungle Book introduces Mowgli, the human foundling adopted by a family of wolves.

It includes Red Dog, in which Mowgli forms an unlikely alliance with the python Kaa, How Fear Came and Letting in the Jungle as well as The Spring Running, which brings Mowgli to manhood and the realisation that he must leave Bagheera, Baloo and his other friends for the world of man.

Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) is often regarded as the unofficial Laureate of the British Empire. Yet his writing reveals a ferociously independent figure at times violently opposed to the dominant political and literary tendencies of his age. Arranged in chronological order, this diverse selection of his poetry shows the development of Kipling's talent, his deepening maturity and the growing sombreness of his poetic vision. Ranging from early, exhilarating celebrations of British expansion overseas, including 'Mandalay' and 'Gunga Din', to the dignified and inspirational 'If -' and the later, deeply moving 'Epitaphs of the War' - inspired by the death of Kipling's only son - it clearly illustrates the scope and originality of his work. It also offers a compelling insight into the Empire both at its peak and during its decline in the early years of the twentieth century.

The story of the man-cub Mowgli who is raised by wolves in the Indian jungle, guided by his mentors Baloo the bear, Bagheera the black panther and the ancient python Kaa, and who confronts his arch-enemy Shere Khan the tiger, is one of the greatest literary myths ever created. Mowgli's adventures are juxtaposed with other animal stories set in the British Empire, ranging from the heroic battle of 'Rikki-tikki-tavi' and the Himalayan pastoral 'Purun Bhagat' to the drama of survival in 'The White Seal'. With The Jungle Books Rudyard Kipling drew on ancient beast fables, Buddhist philosophy and memories of his Anglo-Indian upbringing to create a rich, symbolic portrait of man and nature, and an eternal classic of childhood that has had a lasting impact on our imaginations.Part of a series of new editions of Kipling's works in Penguin Classics, this volume contains a General Preface by Jan Montefiore and an introduction by Kaori Nagai discussing the many imperial, Indian and literary contexts of The Jungle Books.

Two men - Kim, a boy growing into early manhood, and the lama, an old ascetic priest - are fired by a quest. Kim is white, although born in India. While he wants to play the Great Game of imperialism, he is also spiritually bound to the lama and he tries to reconcile these opposing strands. A celebration of their friendship in an often hostile environment, Kim captures the opulence of India's exotic landscape, overlaid by the uneasy presence of the British Raj.The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.
