Sinopsis

'Hear and attend and listen...'

Rudyard Kipling is a supreme master of the short story in English and a poet of brilliant gifts. His energy and inventiveness poured themselves into every kind of tale, from the bleakest of fables to the richest of comedies, and he illuminated every aspect of human behaviour, of which he was a fascinated (and sometimes appalled) observer. This generous selection of stories and poems, first published in the acclaimed Oxford Authors series, covers the full range of Kipling's career from the
youthful volumes that brought him fame as the chronicler of British India, to the bittersweet fruits of age and bereavement in the aftermath of the First World War. It includes stories such as 'The Man who would be King', 'Mrs Bathurst', and 'Mary Postgate', and poems from Barrack-Room Ballads and other
collections.

In his introduction and notes Daniel Karlin addresses the controversial political engagement of Kipling's art, and the sources of its imaginative power.

  • Discursos
    Kipling, Rudyard
    En esta recopilación inédita de sus discursos, encontraremos a un Kipling extrañamente cercano: rara vez en su obra le hallaremos un tono más íntimo, más confesional—como un chef que cocinara para los amigos o un pianista que, tras el concierto, se relajara ante el piano de un pub—. A veces hasta se le hace presente, a Kipling, un punto de retranca chestertoniana. En todo caso,...
