The 1907 Nobel Prize winner's characteristic fluid writing style is already apparent in these funny, poignant & vivid articles and short stories. Providing revealing insights into Kipling's notions of imperialism & Englishness, the works also reflect the writer's keen observational powers, & a telling intelligent self-awareness of his own cultural prejudices. Volume 1 contains Kipling's Letters of Marque & 24 pieces from From Sea to Sea, including descriptions of his experiences of the Great Wall of China, Japanese theatre & visiting a slaughterhouse in Chicago.
