Escrito por Rudyard Kipling


Rudyard Kipling
(Bombay, 1865 - Londres, 1936) escribió relatos, ensayos, novelas y poesía. Iniciado en la masonería a los veinte años, en la logia Esperanza y Perseverancia nº 782 de Lahore, Punyab, India, su literatura abarca todos los territorios y géneros, pero principalmente en sus primeros años arroja luz sobre la colonización inglesa de la India. Rechazó el Premio Nacional de Poesía y en tres ocasiones la Orden del Mérito del Reino Unido, que conlleva el título de Sir, lo que contradice su supuesto imperialismo colonial. Aceptó, sin embargo, el Premio Nobel en 1907. Entre sus obras aparecen libros de relatos como "Por el bien de la humanidad", "El hándicap de la vida" (1891) y las novelas "La luz que se apaga" (1891), "Capitanes intrépidos" (1896) y "Kim" (1901). Su autobiografía, "Algo de mí mismo" (1937), se publicó un año después de su muerte.
