His poetry creation is also colorful and sincere. This well-known poem "If-"in Britain is one of the masterpieces. Joseph Rudyard Kipling (186565438+February 30th-193665438+1October 8th, also translated as Kipling or Luard Kipling), born in Mumbai, India, is an English writer and poet. His main works include children's story The Jungle Book (1894), Indian detective novel Jin (190 1 year), poetry collection Gunga Din (1892) and short poem IF-0. He was a very popular essayist in Britain from 19 to the 20th century, and was known as "the innovator of short story art". Kipling's works had a great influence on the world literary world in the early 20th century, and he himself won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1907. He is the first British Nobel Prize in Literature winner and the youngest Nobel Prize in Literature winner so far. In addition, he was awarded the title of English Knight and English Poet Laureate, but he gave up. Because Kipling lived in an era when a European colonial country was madly expanding to other countries, some of his works were also accused by some people as obvious imperialism and racism. For a long time, people have different views on him, which are extremely contradictory. The literary images in his works are often not only loyal to patriotism and stick to tradition, but also representatives of barbarism and aggression. However, in recent years, with the departure of the colonial era, Kipling has been praised more and more by people for his superb literariness and complexity.
