Synopsis "from sea to sea and other sketches - letters of travel (in English)"

This volume contains Rudyard Kipling's 1922 work "From Sea to Sea and Other Sketches; Letters of Travel". It is a collection of articles written by Kipling concerning his 1889 travels from India to Burma, China, Japan, and the United States. A fascinating and insightful glimpse not only into different places, but a different time as well, this book is highly recommended for lovers of vintage travel writing, and is not to be missed by collectors of Kipling's seminal work. Joseph Rudyard Kipling (1865 - 1936) was a seminal English short-story writer, novelist, and poet. He is most famous for writing stories and poems concerning British soldiers in India, as well as stories for children. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.

Bombay, (1865-1936). Rudyard Kipling escribió novelas, poemas y relatos ambientados principalmente en la India y Birmania durante la época de gobierno británico. Kipling fue un escritor prolífico y popular, y su literatura gira siempre en torno a tres ejes: el patriotismo, el deber de los ingleses de llevar una vida de intensa actividad y el destino de Inglaterra, llamada a ser un gran imperio. Su insistencia en este último aspecto era sin duda un eco del pasado victoriano, y perjudicó gravemente su reputación como escritor, a pesar de que fue el primer autor británico galardonado con el Nobel de Literatura.
