1950121867New York: The Modern Library 1950. First Modern Library edition of what many consider Kipling's masterpiece. Octavo original cloth. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Kim unfolds against the backdrop of The Great Game the political conflict between Russia and Britain in Central Asia. The novel made the term "Great Game" popular and introduced the theme of great power rivalry and intrigue. It is set after the Second Afghan War which ended in 1881 but before the Third probably in the period 1893 to 1898. The novel is notable for its detailed portrait of the people culture and varied religions of India. "The book presents a vivid picture of India its teeming populations religions and superstitions and the life of the bazaars and the road." Considered by many to be Kipling's masterpiece opinion appears varied about its consideration as children's literature or not. Roger Sale in his history of children's literature concludes "Kim is the apotheosis of the Victorian cult of childhood but it shines now as bright as ever long after the Empire's collapse." Named by Modern Library as one of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. In 2003 the book was listed on the BBC's The Big Read poll of the UK's "best-loved novel."

One of only seventy-five numbered copies this is number 32. In fine condition. Rare. Kipling's son John was about three years old when this letter was written. Despite his son's short-sightedness Kipling sought to get him an army commission when the First World War broke out in August 1914. John was killed in the Battle of Loos causing his family immense grief and placing a great strain on the marriage as Kipling's wife had strongly opposed his enlisting. Later Kipling wrote of him "I had a boy who came near writing stories about Kangaroos and Queensland pearl-fishers. But another call came and Johnny went to France where the stars are still shining although Johnny's drum has ceased to beat." Houghton Library unknown books
4642Kipling corresponds with fellow writer H. Rider Haggard whom he calls "Dear Old Man" mainly discussing Haggard's last important novel "When the World Shook." "Your Oro is no small person - a gent with a delicate mind and insensitive leanings. Note however that the idea of a great gyroscope that goes out of control has been used. It was created for demonstration purposes slipped on its base and ground a hall full of people to rags. Put on your scale it's a simply hellish idea." Here Kipling illustrates the gyroscope in a small sketch and suggests an alternative gyroscope that shifts internal strata and tilts the earth. "Get the thing to unchain some inconceivably vast.heated rocks loose.The girl could stop it at the last minute of course." He describes Haggard's account of Theodore Roosevelt as "most interesting. I don't think he need worry.about coming over. He doubts that many in England would show interest in discussing American attitudes. . Europe was embroiled in the first World War at this time January 1917 prior to the US entry about four months after Kipling wrote to Haggard. Kipling signs with initials "R. K." With holograph envelope initialed in lower left corner. Condition: Visible rust stains on lower portion of first page. Kipling enjoyed Haggard's completed novel which reflected Kipling's suggestion according to D. S. Higgins "Rider Haggard: The Great Storyteller." 1981. In an earlier biography of Haggard "Rider Haggard: His Life & World" Morton Cohen 1960 the second edition 1968 Cohen noted that Kipling provided the idea for "When the World Shook." Kipling's comments on Roosevelt were copied by Haggard in his diary entry for Jan. 19 1917. Kipling was one of the most popular writers in English in both prose and verse in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In 1907 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature making him the first English language writer to receive the prize and to date he remains its youngest recipient. Among other honors he was sounded out for the British Poet Laureateship and on several occasions for a knighthood all of which he declined. A wonderful letter.
