Joseph Rudyard Kipling's life

Joseph Rudyard Kipling (1865— 1936) is an English novelist and poet. He was born in Mumbai, a big city in India. His father was a sculpture professor at the British Art School in Mumbai, and later served as the principal and museum director of Lahore Art School. Many of his relatives are painters, and his family environment has played an important role in cultivating his painting hobby and artistic accomplishment. Kipling was sent to England at the age of six and lived in a foster home for five years. Later, he wrote the terrible scene there as Black Sheep Bae (1888). 1877, Kipling entered the "Joint Service College", a school that trained overseas military talents for Britain. The conditions were difficult, and the situation there was later written into the company (1899). In addition to learning military knowledge here, he also likes to read poems by Tennyson and Swinmin and start writing poems. 188 1 year, without his knowledge, his parents published his works of this period, entitled Lyrics for Students. 1882 17 years old returned to India after graduating from high school. His father found him a job in Lahore, and served as the deputy editor of the Military and Political Daily in Lahore. He keenly observed Indian customs, and wrote essays and poems about what he saw and heard, which were published in the newspaper where he worked. 1In September, 884, Kipling published his first short story, The Door of Sorrow, and since then he has published poems and short stories. From 65438 to 0888, he published seven compelling collections of short stories, including Ordinary Stories in the Mountains, Three Soldiers and The Story of the Gadsby Family. The works with a strong romantic color were fresh and natural, which once made the British readers feel refreshed at that time.

1889 went to Britain to be a special correspondent for civil affairs and military news. He set out by boat, passing through China, Japan and the United States, and experienced a journey of "conquering the world". He wrote many notes on the way and collected them in the anthology from sea to sea. This made him one of the most outstanding contemporary prose writers within a year. Kipling's creation reached its peak from the 1990s to the beginning of this century. His poems, Ballad of the Barracks (1892) and Seven Seas (1896), eulogized the British expeditions in foreign countries with heroic and humorous style, and won the title of "Imperial Poet" for poets. 1892 After getting married, she moved to America. During his stay in the United States, he published The Lost Light, The Brave Captain (1897) and the classic works Jin, The Jungle Book and The Jungle Book, which are considered as children's books. After that, eight stories from Mao Mu in the last two novels and A Story from Mao Mu in the Protected Forest published by 1893 were extracted from the three novels, and then compiled into The Stories from Mao Mu by 1933. The Jungle Collection tells a story about the wild animals in the Indian virgin forest. In the story, a brave female wolf rescued Xiao Mo Goulette from the tiger's mouth and raised him. From then on, Xiao Mo Greer lived in the wild forest with wild animals. When he grew up, he killed a fierce tiger. The author has written some stories about animals, but they are full of hints about human life. Gold is the last work about India, and it is recognized by critics as Kipling's best novel, with strong national color.

1902 returned to England and settled in Sussex. This place provided the background for his later works, such as Parker on Puke Mountain (1906) and Award and Fairy (19 10). In his later years, Kipling experienced new changes in his creation due to the loss of his son and the pain of illness. Many of his works involve war trauma, morbid psychology, madness and death. The works of this period include a collection of short stories, Various People (19 17) and IOUs and Creditors (1926). Later, he stayed in South Africa for a long time, associating with Cecil Rhodes, the king of diamonds, and strengthening his imperialist belief that the white man's mission was to educate pagan blacks. Being generally regarded as an imperialist aggressor, his reputation as a serious writer declined after the First World War. Later, it enjoyed a high reputation. T.S. Eliot wants to restore Kipling's reputation in English poetry, but his status as a poet will not be very high. 1936 65438+ 10/8 Kipling died in London, and the British government and people from all walks of life held a grand state funeral for him in Westminster Abbey. One of his unfinished autobiographies, Talking about myself, was published behind him.
