Plain Tales from the Hills: CSA Word Classics (Audio)

Autor Rudyard Kipling Martin Jarvis
en Limba Engleză CD-Audio – 30 noi 2009
"Plain Tales from the Hills" conjures an intimate, evocative, often funny, and always vital portrait of India. Written by the much-loved Rudyard Kipling, these stories comprise his unabridged observations of the British in India, originally commissioned for the "Civil and Military Gazette" for whom he worked as a journalist in the 1880s. Incredibly, Kipling wrote these famous and atmospheric pieces before he was 22, and they aptly illustrate his genius as a storyteller whose words and voice have stood the test of time. The raciness of his narrative, the astute detail and insight, the humor and vitality of his charactersall contribute to ensure these stories remain as various and memorable as India itself."

Notă biografică

Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936) was born in Bombay. During his time at the United Services College, he began to write poetry, privately publishing Schoolboy Lyrics in 1881. The following year he started work as a journalist in India, and while there produced a body of work, stories, sketches, and poems —including “Mandalay,” “Gunga Din,” and “Danny Deever”—which made him an instant literary celebrity when he returned to England in 1889. While living in Vermont with his wife, an American, Kipling wrote The Jungle Books, Just So Stories, and Kim—which became widely regarded as his greatest long work, putting him high among the chronicles of British expansion. Kipling returned to England in 1902, but he continued to travel widely and write, though he never enjoyed the literary esteem of his early years. In 1907, he became the first British writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize.
