Rudyard Kipling Books Overview

Puck of Pook’s Hill

Joseph Rudyard Kipling 1865 1936 was a British author and poet, born in India, and best known today for his children’s books, including The Jungle Book 1894, The Second Jungle Book 1895, Just So Stories 1902, and his novel, Kim 1901. Among his short stories are The Man Who Would Be King 1888 and the collections Life’s Handicap 1891, The Day’s Work 1898, and Plain Tales from the Hills 1888. He is regarded as a major ‘innovator in the art of the short story’; his children’s books are enduring classics of children’s literature; and his best work speaks to a versatile and luminous narrative gift. Kipling was one of the most popular writers in English, in both prose and verse, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In 1907, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, making him the first English language writer to receive the prize, and he remains today its youngest ever recipient. Among other honours, he was offered the British Poet Laureateship and a knighthood, both of which he refused.

Rewards and Fairies

Rewards and Fairies is a collection of stories and a sequel to Puck of Pook’s Hill and, as Kipling wrote, ‘The tales had to be read by children, before people realised they were meant for grown ups’. Through the agency of Puck, two children Dan and Una meet a glittering array of historical characters from flint and iron age tribes to ‘Good Queen Bess’ and Sir Francis Drake. Other tales include stories of England following the Norman Conquest and the Europe of Napoleon and Talleyrand. Rewards and Fairies includes two of Kipling’s best loved and most quoted poems: ‘The Way Through the Woods’ and ‘If ‘

The Jungle Book

The Jungle Book 1894 is a collection of stories written by Rudyard Kipling. Kipling was born in India and spent the first 6 years of his childhood there. After about ten years in England, he went back to India and worked there for about six-and-half years. All of the stories were published in magazines in 1893-4. The original publications contained illustrations, some by Rudyard’s father, John Lockwood Kipling. These books were written when Kipling lived in Vermont.

The tales in the book and also those in The Second Jungle Book which followed in 1895, and which includes five further stories about Mowgli are fables, using animals in an anthropomorphic manner to give moral lessons. The verses of The Law of the Jungle, for example, lay down rules for the safety of individuals, families and communities. Kipling put in them nearly everything he knew or ‘heard or dreamed about the Indian jungle.’ Other readers have interpreted the work as allegories of the politics and society of the time. The best-known of them are the three stories revolving around the adventures of an abandoned ‘man cub’ Mowgli who is raised by wolves in the Indian jungle. The most famous of the other stories are probably ‘Rikki-Tikki-Tavi’, the story of a heroic mongoose, and ‘Toomai of the Elephants’, the tale of a young elephant-handler. Kotick, The White Seal seeking for his people a haven where they would be safe from hunters, has been considered a metaphor for Zionism, then in its beginning. Quote from wikipedia. org

Joseph Rudyard Kipling December 30, 1865 – January 18, 1936 was an English author and poet, born in Bombay, India, and best known for his works The Jungle Book 1894, The Second Jungle Book 1895, Just So Stories 1902,

The Second Jungle Book

Here are the stories and songs of Kipling’s second JUNGLE BOOK: tales of Mowgli and his Seeonee Wolf Pack and, of course, Akela the wolf; of Bagheera, the panther; Kaa, the Rock Python; Baloo, the Bear; and so many others. They are the tales of Mowgli, the lost boy raised by wolves in the jungles of India, brought up on a diet of Jungle Law, loyalty, and fresh meat from the kill, and they have captivated children and adults alike for generations. There is no better place to learn the life of the wolf pack and the natural order the natural justice of life in the jungle. And who could ever forget Mowgli’s enemy, Shere Khan, the bragadocious Bengal tiger? To say nothing of Rikki tikki tavi, the mongoose?This second volume presents the further adventures of Mowgli, including the tale of his biological parents, cast out by their village for their connection to a demon child…

The Light That Failed

Rudyard Kipling 1865 1936 was not yet 25 when he burst onto the literary scene in London, where his stories of Anglo Indian life made him an instant celebrity. He won the Nobel Prize in 1907. Born in India in 1865 to an upper class military family, he spent his early years in Britain and India and achieved his initial success as a reporter in India. In 1888 he published these short stories: ‘Soldiers Three,’ ‘The Story of the Gadsbys,’ ‘In Black and White,’ ‘Under the Deodars,’ ‘The Phantom Rickshaw’ and ‘Wee Willie Winkie.’ ‘The Light That Failed‘ and ‘The City of Dreadful Night’ were written by him in 1890. He traveled widely and visited the U.S. a number of times, eventually building a house in Vermont. A restless wanderer, he ultimately settled in Sussex, only to have his world tumble into ruins with the death of his son in World War I. Kipling is revered for his adult and children’s stories and poems, but much of his life and writing is largely unknown in the United States. Because he believed, and wrote, that Americans were ignorant provincials, his political views were not appreciated in the states. Witty, profound, wildly funny, acerbic and occasionally savage, Rudyard Kipling’s writings continue to delight readers of all ages.

The Naulahka – A Story Of East And West

Rudyard Kipling, the author of British imperialism and the story teller of British India, lived in Vermont during the years 1892 1896. Naulakha, his estate in Dummerston, Vermont, is the only house ever built by Kipling and remains today much as it was when he left it. As a relatively small but intact late 19th century estate, the property would be significant for its architecture alone, even without the literary association. Kipling, however, as an architect’s client, added his personal style to the design, based on his experiences in India. It is thus a dramatic cross cultural expression, spanning two continents stylistically. Rudyard Kipling was born in 1865, the son of English parents living in Bombay, India. His father, John Lockwood Kipling, was a professor at the British School of Art at Lahore. Rudyard was sent to England for schooling and it was there that he met Wolcott Balestier, an American publisher and writer. Jointly they wrote Naulahka, A Novel of East and West, the story of a priceless Indian jewel. Wolcott died 1891 shortly before the completion of the book and Kipling, ‘a captive of the Balestier charm,’ soon married Caroline Balestier, the sister of his friend and literary collaborator.

Disko Troop didn’t know who Harvey’s millionaire dad was. And didn’t care. His ship would return to port when her holds were full in about six months.

And if Harvey Cheyne survived, his life would never be the same.

Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influences biographical, historical, and literary to enrich each reader’s understanding of these enduring works.
Rudyard Kipling has been attacked for championing British imperialism and celebrated for satirizing it. In fact, he did both. Nowhere does he express his own ambivalence more strongly than in Kim, his rousing adventure novel of a young man of many allegiances.

Kimball O Hara grows up an orphan in the walled city of Lahore, India. Deeply devoted to an old Tibetan lama but involved in a secret mission for the British, Kim struggles to weave the strands of his life into a single pattern. Charged with action and suspense, yet profoundly spiritual, Kim vividly expresses the sounds and smells, colors and characters, opulence and squalor of complex, contradictory India under British rule.
Jeffrey Meyers, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, has published forty three books, including biographies of Ernest Hemingway, Robert Frost, D. H. Lawrence, Joseph Conrad, and George Orwell. He also wrote the introduction and notes to the Barnes & Noble Classics edition of Edith Wharton’s The House of Mirth.

Plain Tales from the Hills

Life’s Handicap

These tales have been collected from all places, and all sorts of people, from priests in the Chubara, from Ala Yar the carver, Jiwun Singh the carpenter, nameless men on steamers and trains round the world, women spinning outside their cottages in the twilight, officers and gentlemen now dead and buried, and a few, but these are the very best, my father gave me. The greater part of them have been published in magazines and newspapers, to whose editors I am indebted; but some are new on this side of the water, and some have not seen the light before. The most remarkable stories are, of course, those which do not appear for obvious reasons.

Barrack-Room Ballads

Kipling Poems

Beloved for his fanciful and engrossing children’s literature, controversial for his enthusiasm for British imperialism, Rudyard Kipling remains one of the most widely read writers of Victorian and modern English literature. In addition to writing more than two dozen works of fiction, including Kim and The Jungle Book, Kipling was a prolific poet, composing verse in every classical form from the epigram to the ode. Kipling s most distinctive gift was for ballads and narrative poems in which he drew vivid characters in universal situations, articulating profound truths in plain language. Yet he was also a subtle, affecting anatomist of the human heart, and his deep feeling for the natural world was exquisitely expressed in his verse. He was shattered by World War I, in which he lost his only son, and his work darkened in later years but never lost its extraordinary vitality. All of these aspects of Kipling s poetry are represented in this selection, which ranges from such well known compositions as Mandalay and If to the less familiar, emotionally powerful, and personal epigrams he wrote in response to the war.

The Day’s Work

1894. Kipling, English short story writer, novelist and poet, who celebrated the heroism of British colonial soldiers in India and Burma, he was the first Englishman to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907. The Day’s Work is a collection of short stories that are of varying quality. The stories have no common theme; are set away from India and feature mostly non human characters. However, some of the jewels in this collection include The Maltese Cat, which is an enjoyable tale of a polo match from the point of view of the ponies and The Shim That Found Herself, an imaginative tale of the maiden voyage of a ship as experienced by the various components which make it up. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.

Excerpt from book: There is sorrow enough in the natural way From men and women to fill our day ; But when we are certain of sorrow in store, Why do we always arrange for more ? Brothers and sisters, I bid you beware Of giving your heart to a dog to tear. Buy a pup and your money will buy Love unflinching that cannot lie Perfect passion and worship fed By a kick in the ribs or a pat on the head. Nevertheless it is hardly fair To risk your heart for a dog to tear. When the fourteen years which Nature permits Are closing in asthma, or tumour, or fits, And the vet’s unspoken prescription runs To lethal chambers or loaded guns, Then yea will find it’s your own affair, But…
you’ve given your heart to a dog to tear. When the body that lived at your single will, When the whimper of welcome is stilled how still !, When the spirit that answered your every mood Is gone wherever it goes for good, Tou will discover how much you care, And will give your heart to a dog to tear ! We’ve sorrow enough in the natural way, When it comes to burying Christian clay. Our loves are not given, but only lent, At compound interest of cent per cent. Though it is not always the case, I believe, That the longer we’ve kept ’em, the more do we grieve For, when debts are payable, right or wrong, A short time loan is as bad as a long So why in Heaven before we are there.’ Should we give our hearts to a dog to tear ? The Mother Hive The Mother Hive If the stock had not been old and overcrowded, the Wax moth would never have entered ; but where bees are too thick on the comb there must be sickness or parasites. The heat of the hive had risen with the June honey flow, and though the fanners worked, until their wings ached, to keep p…

Sea Warfare

‘A submarine is like a cat; they won’t tell you who they were with last night and they spend most of their time sleeping’. Sea Warfare originally published in 1917 is a collection of stories from the classic writer Rudyard Kipling. Kipling was much concerned with the conquests of the English overseas, and many of these ventures involved naval battles with the natives the English were trying to conquer. Kipling wrote of these. His romantic imperialism and his characterization of the true Englishman as brave, conscientious, and self reliant did much to enhance his popularity. Kipling was born in Bombay, but educated in England at the United Services College. In 1892 he returned to India, where he worked for Anglo Indian newspapers. His literary career began with Departmental Ditties, but subsequently he became chiefly known as a writer of short stories. A prolific writer, he achieved fame quickly. Kipling was the poet of the British Empire and its yeoman, the common soldier, whom he glorified in many of his works. In 1894 appeared his Jungle Book, which became a children’s classic all over the world. Kim 1901, the story of Kimball O’Hara and his adventures in the Himalayas, is perhaps his most felicitous work. This volume includes: The Fringes Of The Fleet, Tales Of ‘The Trade’, Destroyers Of Jutland and various poems.

Limits And Renewals

Limits And Renewals, Kipling’s last collection of short stories, was written shortly after the death of his only son. Unsurprisingly therefore, many of the stories take on the themes of pain, inner suffering and mental anguish, with an on going exploration into the level of physical and psychological torment that can be endured before a complete breakdown. Dark and penetrating in tone, these are brilliant portraits of a soul in torment with some welcome relief coming in the tales of ‘Aunt Ellen’ and ‘The Miracle of Saint Jubanus’.

This collection opens with ‘The Gate of the Hundred Sorrows,’ the first story Kipling published as a young journalist in India, and ends with an acknowledged masterpiece, ‘The Gardener,’ written 50 years later in the aftermath of the Great War. The stories of the intervening years show an extraordinary range of subject matter and technique. Above all, these stories reveal Kipling’s ability to enter imaginatively into the minds of characters whose lives and values were radically different from his own his willingness, as he himself once said, ‘to think in another man’s skin.’

He began writing fantasy and supernatural stories set in his native continent, such as ‘The Phantom Rickshaw’ and ‘The Strange Ride of Morrowbie Jukes’, and his most famous weird story is ‘The Mark of the Beast’ 1890, about a man cursed to transform into a were leopard. This Masterwork, edited by Stephen Jones, Britain’s most accomplished and acclaimed anthologist, collects all Kipling’s weird fiction for the first time; the stories range from traditional ghostly tales to psychological horror.
