'Mind you, it was a pukka, respectable opium-house, and not one of those stifling, sweltering chandoo-khanas that you can find all over the City.'

Kipling first became famous for his pungent, harsh and shocking stories of northwest India, where he grew up. This is just a small selection from his inexhaustibly contentious and various early work.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Rudyard Kipling

PRÉMIO NOBEL DA LITERATURA 1907

Rudyard Kipling nasceu em Bombaim, então Índia britânica, a 30 de dezembro de 1865. Iniciou a sua carreira literária em 1886 com a publicação do volume de poemas Departmental Ditties, afirmando-se rapidamente se como um dos escritores mais populares do Reino Unido, quer na poesia quer na prosa. Em 1894 lançou O Livro da Selva, que viria a consolidar-se como clássico juvenil por todo o mundo. O Segundo Livro da Selva foi publicado no ano seguinte e Kim, considerada a sua obra mais conseguida, saiu em 1901. Em 1907 tornou-se o primeiro autor de língua inglesa a receber o Prémio Nobel da Literatura e é, até hoje, o mais jovem escritor a quem foi atribuída a distinção (tinha 41 anos). Rudyard Kipling morreu em Londres, a 18 de janeiro de 1936.
