The rich language of Rudyard Kipling's works, full of metaphors, made a great contribution to the treasury in English.
One of the most complete collected works of D.R. Kipling, released in last years. It includes all of the author's novels, as well as the major short story collections. The main disadvantage of this series is that the collection includes (apparently without editing) pre-revolutionary translations, whose level ranges from decent (E. Chistyakova-Ver) to extremely low (V. Pogodina), but in any case is significantly inferior to the level of Soviet translations time."
Volume 1
The first volume of the collected works includes the novel “Kim” (1901), written by Kipling at the height of his fame and which is a kind of farewell word addressed to India, and a collection of stories “Three Soldiers”, dedicated to the “builders of the empire” - ordinary people in soldier's uniform, a private in the colonial army.
Volume 2
The second volume of collected works includes: the novel “Brave Sailors” (1897), one of the few works of the writer based on American material: the story of the rebirth of the son of an American millionaire after communicating with ordinary sea workers; the largely autobiographical novel “The Light Has Gone Out” (1890), dedicated to the life of a talented war artist; as well as the story "The Story of Badalia Herodsfoot". The writer's creative style is distinguished by rigid precision of prose, laconicism, and brilliant style.
Volume 3
The third volume of collected works includes: two “Jungle Books”, the writer’s most popular works, in the center of which is the human cub Mowgli, who grew up among animals, as well as a collection of stories “In Mountain India”. Kipling's ability to capture ordinary life something exciting and lofty, the truthfulness and deep originality of his talent were highly appreciated by I. Bunin, A. Kuprin, M. Gorky and other Russian writers.
Volume 4
The fourth volume of the collected works includes collections of stories: “The Phantom Rickshaw,” written in the manner of a “scary story” with mysterious content, not inferior in intensity to the stories of Edgar Allan Poe; “Fairy Tales and Legends” and “Works of the Day,” which are among the best things written by the master of elegant realistic and fantastic short stories, who also has a unique way of talking with children.
Volume 5
The fifth volume of collected works includes: the novel “Naulaka” (1891), on the pages of which there is a meeting of the exotic East and the American West - the novel tells the story of the search for the legendary treasure of Naulaka; as well as a collection of tales “Old England”, the folk basis of which, coupled with the traditional style of the old English essay, demonstrate Kipling as a writer inexhaustible in the field of form.
Volume 6
The sixth volume of collected works includes: “Indian Stories”, the play “The Story of Gadsby”, the collection “The Most Amazing Tale in the World and Other Stories”. The world of Kipling's stories is complex and rich, representing essentially an encyclopedia of the plot experience of the best English and American storytellers of the 19th century. They are characterized by psychology, innovation, which consists in introducing new layers of life into the fabric of the narrative, and a kind of naturalism.

Rudyard KiplingGreat Britain, 12/30/1865 – 01/18/1936Born on December 30, 1865 in Bombay (India). His father, a major specialist in the history of Indian art, was the director of the museum; mother came from a prominent London family; both grandfathers were Methodist ministers. At the age of six, the boy was sent to England to be cared for by a Calvinist family. In 1882, sixteen-year-old Rudyard returned to India and found a job as an assistant editor in a Lahore newspaper. In 1886 he published a book of poems, Department Songs. It was followed by Plain Tales from the Hills, 1888) are laconic, often crude stories about life in British India. In 1887, Kipling moved to the Pioneer newspaper in Allahabad. His best stories were published in India, in cheap editions, and were later collected in the books “Three Soldiers” and “Wee-Willy-Winky,” containing pictures of the life of the British army in India. In 1889, Kipling traveled around the world, writing travel notes. In October he arrived in London and almost immediately became a celebrity. The following year became the year of Kipling's glory. Starting with the “Ballad of East and West,” he moved towards a new style of English versification, creating “Songs of the Barracks.” There are some bibliographical difficulties associated with the release of Kipling's first novel, The Light Has Gone Out (1890), since it appeared in two versions - one with a happy ending, the other with a tragic one. Due to overwork, the writer’s health deteriorated, and most He spent 1891 traveling around America and the British dominions. Returning in January 1892, he married the sister of the American publisher W. Balestier, with whom he co-authored the unsuccessful novel “Naulanka” (1892). During the honeymoon that the Kipling couple spent in Japan, a bank crash left them penniless, and they settled in the Balestier house in Brattleboro (Vermont). During the four years he lived in America, Kipling wrote his best works. These are stories included in the collections “A Mass of Fiction” (1893) and “Works of the Day” (1898), poems about ships, about the sea and pioneer sailors, collected in the book “Seven Seas” (1896), and two “Jungle Books” (1894–1895). In 1896 he wrote the book Brave Mariners. The Kiplings' life in New England ended in an absurd quarrel with their brother-in-law, and in 1896 they returned to England. On the advice of doctors, the writer spent winters in South Africa, where he became close to the ideologists of colonialism A. Milner, L. S. Jameson and S. Rhodes. He was a war correspondent during the Boer War of 1899–1902. At the height of his fame and fortune, Kipling avoided publicity, ignored hostile criticism, and refused the title of poet laureate and many honors. In 1902 he settled in a remote village in Sussex. In 1901, Kipling published the novel “Kim,” his farewell to India, and in 1902, the delightful children’s book “Just So Fairy Tales.” By the middle of the writer’s life, his literary style had changed; now he wrote leisurely, carefully, carefully checking what he wrote. Two books of historical stories, “Puck from Puka Hill” (1906) and “Rewards and Fairies” (1910), are characterized by a higher structure of feelings; some of the poems reach the level of pure poetry. Kipling continued to write stories, collected in the books Paths and Discoveries (1904), Action and Reaction (1909), Creatures of All Kinds (1917), Debt and Credit (1926), and Limitation and Renewal ( 1932). Kipling's popularity waned in the 1920s. Death of a son in the First world war and the writer endured persistent illnesses stoically. Kipling died in London on January 18, 1936.
