Sinopsis de THE IRISH GUARDS IN THE GREAT WAR (VOL. 1&2 - COMPLETE EDITION)

Rudyard Kiplings "The Irish Guards in the Great War" (Vol. 1 & 2 - Complete Edition) offers an immersive and poignant chronicle of the Irish Guards during World War I, intertwining personal narratives, letters, and official reports. With vivid prose and a deep sense of empathy, Kipling presents the harrowing realities of trench warfare while celebrating the bravery and camaraderie of the soldiers. The literary style is marked by KiplingÄôs characteristic storytelling flair combined with a deep respect for those who served, making the text a compelling blend of historical documentation and evocative narrative. This work fits within KiplingÄôs broader body of wartime literature, illustrating the tragedy and heroism of conflict from a uniquely Irish perspective, as well as reflecting the authorÄôs personal connection to the military through his sons service. Rudyard Kipling, a luminary of English literature, was profoundly affected by the Great War, particularly by the loss of his own son, John. This personal tragedy infused his writings with a somber yet respectful tone, as he sought to immortalize the experiences of the young men who fought bravely in the trenches. KiplingÄôs own background, interwoven with British imperial themes, showcases his ability to capture the complexities of duty and sacrifice, particularly within the context of the Irish Guards, who bore their own unique national identity. For readers seeking a rich, historical insight into the experiences of soldiers during one of historyÄôs most harrowing conflicts, KiplingÄôs "The Irish Guards in the Great War" is indispensable. It serves as both a memorial to the sacrifices made and a critical piece of literature that sheds light on the shared humanity amidst the horrors of war. This comprehensive edition not only satisfies the scholarly pursuit of understanding military history but also resonates emotionally with anyone who appreciates the weight of personal stories within the vast narrative of conflict.

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.
