Description
The stories of Rudyard Kipling are read all over the world by people of all ages yet no biography has fully explored the complex link between his fascinating life and his writing; untill this one. Harry Ricketts brings Kipling vividly and touchingly to life - his traumatic childhood split between India and England (haunting the powerful Jungle Books); his youth as a reporter in India troubled by love and politics; his entry into London literary life and his often hilarious travels in America. Ricketts explores Kiplings's imperialism and radicaism and traces his increasing reclusiveness after his son's death in the First World War. The dramatic life is backed by subtle readings of the works from the BARRACK-ROOM BALLADS to KIM and STALKY AND CO. With its strong narrative drive this biography entrals and moves while shining a strong new light on a great writer.
