Reseña del libro "The Collected Supernatural and Weird Fiction of Rudyard Kipling: Thirty-Eight Short Stories of the Strange and Unusual (en Inglés)"

Ghosts, werewolves and other terrors from the pen of a master writer Rudyard Kipling was one of the giants of popular fiction in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. His novels, stories and poems for both adults and children have become enduring classics and many have been adapted for film, television, radio and the stage. The author's stories of the Indian sub-continent at the time of the British Raj have created an abiding image in the public consciousness, from Mowgli and the Jungle Book to his irrepressible 'Soldiers Three'-Ortheris, Learoyd and Mulvaney-the Queen Empresses most entertaining 'hard bargains.' It would have been unusual if he had not turned his talents to the writing of tales of the supernatural and bizarre and, predictably, Kipling's qualities shine through in such stories, where his familiarity with India, its mystery and inherent strangeness, feature prominently. Here are bizarre tales to chill the blood, humorous ghost stories, horrors worthy of Edgar Alan Poe, fakirs, creepy entities and strange creatures all woven into irresistible tales by a master wordsmith. This very substantial special Leonaur single volume collection of Kipling's supernatural and weird fiction contains no less than thirty eight outstanding short stories including 'The Phantom Rickshaw, ' 'They, ' 'The Strange Ride of Morrowbie Jukes, ' 'The Lost Legion, ' 'The Mark of the Beast, ' 'Haunted Subalterns, ' 'The Solid Muldoon' and many more. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket

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.
