Kipling Rudyard Joseph
Rudyard Kipling
Great Britain,
30.12.1865 – 18.01.1936
He was born on December 30, 1865 in Bombay (India).
His father, a major specialist in the history of Indian art, was the director of the museum; his mother came from a well known London family; both grandfathers were Methodist ministers.
At the age of six, the boy was sent to England to be cared for by a Calvinist family.
In 1882, the sixteen year old Rudyard returned to India and got a job as an assistant editor in a Lahore newspaper.
In 1886, he published a book of poems "Departmental Songs".
It was followed by Simple Stories from the Mountains (Plain Tales from the Hills, 1888) - concise, often rude stories about the life of British India.
In 1887, Kipling joined the Pioneer newspaper in Allahabad.
His best stories were published in India, in cheap editions, and later were collected in the books "Three Soldiers" and "Wee Willie Winky", containing pictures of the life of the British army in India.
In 1889, Kipling traveled around the world, writing travel notes.
In October, he arrived in London and almost immediately became a celebrity.
The following year was the year of Kipling's fame.
Starting with "The Ballad of the East and the West", he went to a new style of English versification, creating "Songs of the Barracks".
There are some bibliographic difficulties associated with the release of Kipling's first novel "The Light Went Out" (1890), since it appeared in two versions – one with a happy ending, the other with a tragic one.
Due to overwork, the writer's health was shaken, and he spent most of 1891 traveling around America and the British dominions.
Returning in January 1892, he married the sister of the American publisher W. Balestiere, with whom he co authored the unsuccessful novel "Naulanka" (1892).
During the honeymoon, which the Kipling couple spent in Japan, the bank crash left them penniless, and they settled in the Balestiere house in Brattleboro (Vermont).
During the four years they lived in America, Kipling wrote his best works.
The stories included in the collections "the Weight of lies" (1893) and "the long day" (1898), poems about ships, the sea and sailors, pioneers, collected in the book "Seven seas" (1896), and two "jungle Book" (1894-1895).
In 1896 he wrote a book, "Brave sailors".
The Kiplings ' life in New England ended in a ridiculous quarrel with their brother in law, and in 1896 they returned to England.
On the advice of doctors, the writer spent winters in South Africa, where he became close to the ideologists of colonialism A. Milner, L. S. Jameson and S. Rhodes.
He was a war correspondent during the Boer War of 1899-1902.
At the height of fame and fortune, Kipling avoided publicity, He ignored hostile criticism, refused the title of poet laureate and many honors.
In 1902, he settled in a remote village in the county of Sussex.
In 1901 Kipling published the novel "Kim", his farewell word to India, in 1902 a delightful children's book "Fairy Tales just like that".
By the middle of the writer's life, his literary manner had changed, now he wrote slowly, carefully, carefully checking what he wrote.
The two books of historical stories "Puck from Pook's Hill" (1906) and "Awards and Fairies" (1910) are characterized by a higher structure of feelings, some of the poems reach the level of pure poetry.
Kipling continued to write short stories collected in the books "the Way and opening" (1904), "Action and reaction" (1909), "a variety of creatures" (1917), "Debit and credit" (1926), "Limitation and renewal" (1932).
In 1920s the popularity of Kipling decreased.
The writer endured the death of his son in the First World War and persistent illnesses stoically.
Kipling died in London on January 18, 1936.
