Category : Boys

Pages : 394
Book Description
"Naulahka" is the name Kipling gave to his home in Brattleboro, Vermont, though the Naulahka of the book title refers to a most precious jeweled necklace. It is also a story he wrote with a co-author, Wolcott Balestier, a Brattleboro man, and Kipling's brother-in-law. Balestier died of typhoid shortly after they began the collaboration, so what remains is mostly Kipling.

Something of Themselves
Author: Sarah LeFanu
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0197536077
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 413
Book Description
In early 1900, the paths of three British writers--Rudyard Kipling, Mary Kingsley and Arthur Conan Doyle--crossed in South Africa, during what has become known as Britain's last imperial war. Each of the three had pressing personal reasons to leave England behind, but they were also motivated by notions of duty, service, patriotism and, in Kipling's case, jingoism. Sarah LeFanu compellingly opens an unexplored chapter of these writers' lives, at a turning point for Britain and its imperial ambitions. Was the South African War, as Kipling claimed, a dress rehearsal for the Armageddon of World War One? Or did it instead foreshadow the anti-colonial guerrilla wars of the later twentieth century? Weaving a rich and varied narrative, LeFanu charts the writers' paths in the theatre of war, and explores how this crucial period shaped their cultural legacies, their shifting reputations, and their influence on colonial policy.
