Kipling Rudyard Kipling. Poems
As a child of the Raj, Rudyard Kipling became famous for tales of Indian life, such as Kim and The Jungle Book in which the country is described with a detail, love and colour which have never been surpassed. Kipling wrote verse in every classical form from the epigram to the ode, but his most distinctive gift was for the songs and stories in which he presents memorable characters, often speaking in their own voices. Said to be the most quoted English poet after Shakespeare, he articulated profound truths and subtle states of mind in colloquial language. His work darkened in later years but never lost its extraordinary vitality. All aspects of his verse are represented in this selection, from party pieces such as ‘Mandalay’ and ‘If ’, to the powerful epigrams he produced in response to World War I.
4406 Руб.Kipling Rudyard Poetical Works
This edition of the poetry of Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) includes all the poems contained in the Definitive Edition of 1940. In his lifetime, Kipling was widely regarded as the unofficial Poet Laureate, and he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907. His poetry is striking for its many rhythms and popular forms of speech, and Kipling was equally at home with dramatic monologues and extended ballads. He is often thought of as glorifying war, militarism, and the British Empire, but an attentive reading of the poems does not confirm that view. This edition reprints George Orwell's hard-hitting account of Kipling's poems, first published in 1942, and generally regarded as one of the most important contributions to critical discussion of Kipling.
1829 Руб.Kipling Rudyard Selected Poems
Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) is often regarded as the unofficial Laureate of the British Empire. Yet his writing reveals a ferociously independent figure at times violently opposed to the dominant political and literary tendencies of his age. Arranged in chronological order, this diverse selection of his poetry shows the development of Kipling's talent, his deepening maturity and the growing sombreness of his poetic vision. Ranging from early, exhilarating celebrations of British expansion overseas, including 'Mandalay' and 'Gunga Din', to the dignified and inspirational 'If -' and the later, deeply moving 'Epitaphs of the War' - inspired by the death of Kipling's only son - it clearly illustrates the scope and originality of his work. It also offers a compelling insight into the Empire both at its peak and during its decline in the early years of the twentieth century.
