Published in 1890, The Light that Failed tells the story of Dick Heldar, a soldier and artist wounded in the Sudan who returns to London to paint his masterpiece as his eyesight rapidly fails. The novel first appeared in Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine, but Kipling changed the ending for its publication in book form.
