Los mejores cuentos de Rudyard Kipling

Autor: Rudyard Kipling

Número de Páginas: 150

Descubra los mejores cuentos de Rudyard Kipling. Rudyard Kipling, poco amigo de los premios y las alabanzas, fue el primer británico que conquistó el Premio Nobel de Literatura. En 1907, a la temprana edad de 41 años, le concedieron dicho galardón por su «capacidad de observación, original imaginación, la virilidad de sus ideas y el talento notable para la narración que caracterizan las creaciones de este autor de fama mundial». Escritor, periodista y poeta inglés, recordaremos a Kipling como uno de los más grandes cuentistas en lengua inglesa —género del cual fue uno de sus principales innovadores— que vivió durante el triunfante imperialismo británico de la época victoriana. Es difícil no asociar a este grandísimo autor con su Bombay natal, con la India británica y con personajes tan ilustres como Mowgli... Su escritura de tono seco, rudo, directo, con un finísimo hilo de cinismo y humor sarcástico, se convierte en una narración vigorosa que ilumina a todo aquel que la lee. Sumérjase en estos cuentos clásicos y déjese llevar por la historia.

Man and Mason-Rudyard Kipling

Autor: Richard Jaffa

Número de Páginas: 281

Rudyard Kipling remains one of the most intriguing and elusive personalities in English literature. He was a Nobel laureate, prolific writer, political figure and one of the outstanding men of his era. There are many dimensions to his work but no-one has previously examined in depth his interest in Freemasonry and its impact on his literary output. This book looks at the life of both the young Kipling and the old one and shows how, at two major stages of his life he turned to Freemasonry, not only for dramatic impact, but also as a source of spiritual comfort after the horrors of the First World War.

This thorough study initially discusses Kipling's ambivalent knowing attitude to unknowable otherness, his rhetorical imitations of Indian and demotic vernaculars, his work ethic and ideal of imperialist masculinity, thus contextualising the central discussion of his masterpiece Kim which, almost uniquely, takes Indian otherness as a source of pleasure not anxiety.

Kipling in India

Autor: Harish Trivedi , Janet Montefiore

Número de Páginas: 196

This book explores and re-evaluates Kipling’s connection with India, its people, culture, languages, and locales through his experiences and his writings. Kipling’s works attracted interest among a large section of the British public, stimulating curiosity in their far-off Indian Empire, and made many canonize him as an emblem of the ‘Raj’. This volume highlights the astonishing social and thematic range of his Indian writings as represented in The Jungle Books; Kim; his early verse; his Simla-based tales of Anglo-Indian intrigues and love affairs; his stories of the common Indian people; and his journalism. It brings together different theoretical and contextual readings of Kipling to examine how his experience of India influenced his creative work and conversely how his imperial loyalties conditioned his creative engagement with India. The 18 chapters here engage with the complexities and contradictions in his writings and analyse the historical and political contexts in which he wrote them, and the contexts in which we read him now. With well-known contributors from different parts of the world – including India, the UK, the USA, Canada, France, Japan, and New Zealand ...

VictorianStudies on theWebCritics Choice!Rudyard Kipling: Hell and Heroism is an exploration of two fundamental yet greatly neglected aspects of the author's life and writings: his deep-seated pessimism and his complex creed of heroism. The method of the book is both biographical and critical. Biographically, it traces the roots of Kipling's dark worldview and his search for something to believe in, a way of thinking and acting in defiance of life's hellishness. There matters were more basic to him than any of his social or political opinions, but this the first full-length study devoted to them. Critically, the book takes a fresh and close look at some of Kipling's most important works. The result challenges long established assumptions and amounts to a major reconsideration of novels like Kim and stories like "Mary Postgate" and "The Gardener." Central in these discussions of individual writings is Kipling's concern with the heroic life, but of equal importance is the analysis and evaluation of them as works of art. Avoiding the tangled and special language of some recent literary theory, this will appeal to a wide audience of those interested in Kipling's mind and art.

Conservative Belief and the Imagination in Kipling’s Fiction

Autor: Mark Paffard

Número de Páginas: 223

This book explores the tension between the conservatism and the imaginative process across the entirety of Rudyard Kipling’s fiction. It shows how Kipling the conservative thinker explores problematic aspects of Empire and the English class-system, both because it is unavoidable and because his art requires it. This tension is evident in the Indian and ‘Imperial’ Kipling and in his later ‘English’ stories. Situating Kipling’s fiction within changing social and political contexts, Mark Paffard shows the anxieties Kipling as a conservative responds to in the early Indian stories to be very different from those caused by the economic and technological upheaval of the ‘Belle Epoque’, and those arising from the First World War. Paffard reveals how Kipling’s development as a writer is shaped by his need to respond differently to a changing world: imperialist ideology and conservatism dictate the stories that he sets out to write, and his imagination and sympathy shape the stories that are finally written.

Kipling and Orientalism (Routledge Revivals)

Autor: B. J. Moore-gilbert

Número de Páginas: 196

First published in 1986, this book sets Kipling firmly in the historical context not only of contemporary India but of prior Anglo-Indian writers about India. Despite his enthusiastic reception in England as ‘revealer of the East’, in India he seems to have been regarded as just one more Anglo-Indian writer. The author demonstrates the traditionalism of Kipling’s use of the themes of Anglo-Indian fiction – themes such as the ‘White Man’s grave’, domestic instability, frustration and loneliness. In particular, Kipling is shown to be writing in a strongly conservative idiom, concentrating on the role of the British hierarchy as the determining factor in a response to India, on British insecurity and fears of a repeat of the 1857 mutiny, and regarding Indian institutions only in so far as they represented a threat to British rule. Conservative critiques of liberalism are also discussed.

Kipling's Art of Fiction 1884-1901

Autor: David Sergeant

Número de Páginas: 244

Kipling's Art of Fiction 1884-1901 re-establishes its subject as a major artist. Through extended close readings of individual works, and unprecedentedly detailed attention to changes in location and readership, it distinguishes between two kinds of Kipling fiction. The first is coercive and concerned with the authoritarian control of meaning; the second relates less directly to its immediate historical surroundings and is more aesthetically complex. Misunderstandings have often resulted from confusing the two kinds of work. Distinguishing between them allows for a newly coherent account of Kipling's career, both explaining his artistic achievement and making clearer his identity as a political writer. Changes in Kipling's narrative practice are tracked as he moves from India to Britain and the US, and engages with a succession of new audiences and political contexts; detailed readings are provided of such key texts as Plain Tales from the Hills, The Jungle Books and Kim. As well as revealing the precise nature of Kipling's artistry, this book shows how properties of narrative which have been generally underrated — such as embodiment and externality — can be used to make...

The Representation of Colonial Rule in Kipling's 'Beyond the Pale'

Autor: Fritz Hubertus Vaziri

Número de Páginas: 30

Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, Free University of Berlin (Institut für Englische Philologie), course: 20th Century Short Stories, 11 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: There has been manifold discussion among Kipling critics, as far as his attitude towards imperialism is concerned. Not only that - the author's political involvement has been conceived as a disturbing factor in enjoying his literature, even complicating the appreciation of his artistic talents. Why is this so? Why do some critics find it harder to forgive Kipling his political commitment than other writers? And why is it important to scrutinise this matter at all in the first place? It looks as if the motivation here - which is probably the case with any serious enquiry of significant literature - is rooted in the desire to understand the hidden force behind the deep impression Kipling's work has obviously made on so many of his contemporaries and to come up with an answer as to whether this force is something to approve of or not. It is around this point the whole imperialism dispute seems to circle. Thus, an...

Elegiac Aspects and Biblical Imagery in Rudyard Kipling's "The Children"

Autor: Cordula Siemon

Número de Páginas: 17

Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (Department of English and Linguistics), course: The English Elegy, language: English, abstract: After Rudyard Kipling came to fame in the 1890s with poems such as "Mandalay", "Tommy" and "The White Man's Burden", he was increasingly associated with jingoism and imperialism. Indeed, his most popular poems reflect a sense of glamour and excitement about war and Kipling himself was rather open about his anti-liberalism. When the outbreak of the First World War was imminent, Kipling manifested his militarist inclination in his poem "For All We Have and Are", which can essentially be summed up as a public call to arms. The tone in Kipling's poetry changed towards "a new air of sadness and loss" (Keating 199) when his 18 year-old only son John was reported wounded and missing at the Battle of Loos in 1915 and his body was never recovered. While Kipling shared this fate with many other parents at the time, the irony - and tragedy - lies in the fact that Kipling himself had pulled strings to get his son a commission in the Irish Guards...

Rudyard Kipling et la guerre

Autor: Collection , Rudyard Kipling , &al.

Número de Páginas: 121

Définir Kipling serait restreindre un génie qui, par la surabondance de sa richesse, déborde les limites où on le prétendrait enfermer. Pourtant deux vocations dominent en lui toutes les autres : d’abord un attrait invincible vers toutes les intensités de la vie, ensuite une incomparable aptitude à découvrir en ces intensités, fut-ce les plus éclatantes, leurs forces jusque-là inaperçues. Ce génie devait être comme aspiré par la puissance de cyclone où tourne depuis quatre ans le monde. Si toute guerre est une tension de l’énergie humaine, nulle guerre n’avait encore exigé de cette énergie un effort aussi démesuré, universel, surhumain. Kipling s’est trouvé d’instinct à la place d’où cet effort lui apparaîtrait avec le plus d’étendue et de puissance. Parmi les États, aucun ne mettait au jeu de la destinée autant que la Grande-Bretagne. Par cela seul qu’elle s’était engagée, elle engageait l’univers : outre sa métropole d’Europe, ses grands réservoirs de force, les sociétés grandissantes du Canada, de l’Australie, de l’Afrique, l’Inde antique et toujours jeune de fécondité. Les diverses parties du monde, le passé et...
