Sinopsis de THE IRISH GUARDS: THE FIRST & THE SECOND BATTALION IN THE GREAT WAR (COMPLETE EDITION)

In "The Irish Guards: The First & the Second Battalion in the Great War (Complete Edition)," Rudyard Kipling presents a poignant yet unvarnished chronicle of the valiant contributions and sacrifices made by the Irish Guards during World War I. Composed with a keen eye for detail and a lyrical prose style, Kipling interweaves personal narratives, historical context, and intense battle descriptions, crafting a comprehensive and deeply human portrayal of warfare. This edition serves not only as a tribute to the soldiers courage but also as a reflection on the broader societal impacts of the war, encapsulating the heroism and tragedy that marked this tumultuous period in history. Rudyard Kipling, a renowned English author and poet, was deeply influenced by his own familial ties to the military and his complex relationship with colonialism. His son, John, served in the Irish Guards during the Great War, a tragedy that profoundly affected Kipling and fueled the emotional depth of this work. His experiences as a war correspondent and his literary ambitions converged to create a narrative that is both heartfelt and historically significant, reflecting his intricate understanding of the conflict and its participants. This comprehensive account of the Irish Guards is a must-read for both history enthusiasts and literary scholars alike. KiplingÄôs ability to capture the essence of bravery under fire and the grim realities of war makes this book not only a critical historical document but also a moving tribute to those who served. Readers will find themselves immersed in the rich tapestry of military history, compelled by KiplingÄôs evocative storytelling and profound insights.

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.
