Über den Autor

Joseph Rudyard Kipling (30 December 1865 – 18 January 1936) was an English journalist, short-story writer, poet, and novelist. He was born in India, which inspired much of his work. Kipling’s works of fiction include ‚The Jungle Book‘ (1894), ‚Kim‘ (1901), and many short stories, including ‚The Man Who Would Be King‘ (1888). His poems include ‚Mandalay‘ (1890), ‚Gunga Din‘ (1890), ‚The Gods of the Copybook Headings‘ (1919), ‚The White Man’s Burden‘ (1899), and ‚If—‘ (1910). He is regarded as a major innovator in the art of the short story; his children’s books are classics of children’s literature, and one critic described his work as exhibiting ‚a versatile and luminous narrative gift‘.
