DESCRIPTION - Throughout his lifetime Kipling roamed the world widely, recording its infinite variety with unique insight and unsurpassed artistry. No writer was more sensitive to the complex conflict of races and cultures in the colonial East or more finely keyed to the new tempos of the Age of the Machine; and none combined so knowledgeable an eye for colorful surface detail with so keen a sense of the loneliness, terror, and deprivation underlying human existence. These, his finest tales - set in India and England, America and Europe - are both vividly realistic and darkly shadowed, of their time yet timeless. They combine to offer a memorable introduction to a writer praised by T. S. Eliot for 'an immense gift for using words, an amazing curiosity and power of observation with his mind and all his senses.' INCLUDES the stories - The Mark of the Beast; Without Benefit of Clergy; Georgie Porgie; The Brushwood Boy; 'They'; Baa Baa, Black Sheep; An Habitation Enforced; Brother Square-Toes; .007; The Gardener; The Man Who Was; The Incarnation of Krishna Mulvaney; The Man Who Would Be King; Garm-A Hostage; The Strange Ride of Morrowbie Jukes. inventory #47602 Previous Owner's Name Penned in Front and Some Slightly Discoloration to Inside Flaps, Otherwise Very Good in Wrappers.
