PLAIN TALES FROM THE HILLS - RUDYARD KIPLING TA...

Born in Bombay in 1865  Rudyard Kipling launched his literary career with Plain Tales from the
Hills and  in 1907  became the first English writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize. Many of the
stories in this book were originally published in a Lahore newspaper for which Kipling worked
as a journalist. Later  he revised them to re-create as vividly as possible the sights and
smells of India for English readers. Including Lispeth  Beyond the Pale  and In the Pride of
His Youth  this collection  far from being a celebration of empire  instead explores the
barriers between races  classes  and sexes and powerfully captures all the tensions and
contradictions of colonial life.
