Sobre o autor
Rudyard Kipling, born on December 30, 1865, in Bombay, British India, was a prolific English writer and poet, remembered for his works that brilliantly captured the essence of the British Imperial experience. Educated in England, Kipling returned to India in 1882 and worked in journalism, which deeply influenced his writing. He achieved early fame with his poetry and short stories set in the Indian subcontinent. Kipling’s narrative style, often typified by a nuanced understanding and portrayal of colonialism, brought him critical acclaim and a global readership. In 1907, he received the Nobel Prize in Literature, becoming the first English-language writer to receive the honor, and to date, he remains its youngest recipient. Among his most cherished works is ‘The Just So Stories for Little Children’ (Macmillan, 1902), a collection of origin stories filled with playful and fantastical elements designed to spark the imagination of children and adults alike. Illustrated by Kipling himself, this collection showcases his creative storytelling abilities and his penchant for linguistic playfulness. Kipling’s other notable works include ‘Kim’ (Macmillan, 1901), ‘The Jungle Book’ (Macmillan, 1894), and ‘Gunga Din’ (1890). His mastery of poetry and short fiction has had a lasting impact on literature, and his stories remain beloved classics. Despite modern critiques of his imperialist perspectives, Kipling’s work continues to be studied for its rich characterizations and vivid evocations of the landscapes within which his tales are set.
