Book excerpt: This book is for all those who love Kim, that masterpiece of Indian life in which Kipling immortalized the Great Game. Fascinated since childhood by this strange tale of an orphan boy's recruitment into the Indian secret service, Peter Hopkirk here retraces Kim's footsteps across Kipling's India to see how much of it remains. To attempt this with a fictional hero would normally be pointless. But Kim is different. For much of this Great Game classic was inspired by actual people and places, thus blurring the line between the real and the imaginary. Less a travel book than a literary detective story, this is the intriguing story of Peter Hopkirk's quest for Kim and a host of other shadowy figures.

Book excerpt: Esteemed biographer and legendary literary editor Claire Tomalin's stunning memoir of a life in literature “[An] intelligent and humane book…There is genuine appeal in watching this indomitable woman continue to chase the next draft of herself." —Dwight Garner, The New York Times In A Life of My Own, the renowned biographer of Charles Dickens, Samuel Pepys, and Thomas Hardy, and former literary editor for the Sunday Times reflects on a remarkable life surrounded by writers and books. From discovering books as a form of escapism during her parents' difficult divorce, to pursuing poetry at Cambridge, where she meets and marries Nicholas Tomalin, the ambitious and striving journalist, Tomalin always steered herself towards a passionate involvement with art. She relives the glittering London literary scene of the 1960s, during which Tomalin endured her husband's constant philandering and numerous affairs, and revisits the satisfaction of being commissioned to write her first book, a biography of the early feminist Mary Wollstonecraft. In biography, she found her vocation. However, when Nick is killed in 1973 while reporting in Israel, the mother of four put aside her writing to assume the position of literary editor of the New Statesman. Her career soared when she later moved to the Sunday Times, and she tells with dazzling candor of this time in her life spent working alongside the literary lights of 1970s London. But, the pain of her young daughter's suicide and the challenges of caring for her disabled son as a single mother test Claire's strength and persistence. It is not until later in life that she is able to return to what gave her such purpose decades ago, writing biographies, and finds enduring love with her now-husband, playwright Michael Frayn. Marked by honesty, humility, and grace, rendered in the most elegant of prose, A Life of My Own is a portrait of a life, replete with joy and heartbreak. With quiet insight and unsparing clarity, Tomalin writes autobiography at its most luminous, delivering an astonishing and emotionally-taut masterpiece.

Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book of 2019 A unique exploration of the life and work of Rudyard Kipling in Gilded Age America, from a celebrated scholar of American literature At the turn of the twentieth century, Rudyard Kipling towered over not just English literature but the entire literary world. At the height of his fame in 1907, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, becoming its youngest winner. His influence on major figures—including Freud and William James—was pervasive and profound. But in recent decades Kipling’s reputation has suffered a strange eclipse. Though his body of work still looms large, and his monumental poem “If—” is quoted and referenced by politicians, athletes, and ordinary readers alike, his unabashed imperialist views have come under increased scrutiny. In If, scholar Christopher Benfey brings this fascinating and complex writer to life and, for the first time, gives full attention to Kipling's intense engagement with the United States—a rarely discussed but critical piece of evidence in our understanding of this man and his enduring legacy. Benfey traces the writer’s deep involvement with America over one crucial decade, from 1889 to 1899, when he lived for four years in Brattleboro, Vermont, and sought deliberately to turn himself into a specifically American writer. It was his most prodigious and creative period, as well as his happiest, during which he wrote The Jungle Book and Captains Courageous. Had a family dispute not forced his departure, Kipling almost certainly would have stayed. Leaving was the hardest thing he ever had to do, Kipling said. “There are only two places in the world where I want to live,” he lamented, “Bombay and Brattleboro. And I can’t live in either.” In this fresh examination of Kipling, Benfey hangs a provocative “what if” over Kipling’s American years and maps the imprint Kipling left on his adopted country as well as the imprint the country left on him. If proves there is relevance and magnificence to be found in Kipling’s work.

Book excerpt: "Quien sepa leer la causa de una acción habrá ya recorrido la mitad del camino que lleva a la libertad." Publicada en 1901, "Kim" narra la historia Kimball O'Hara, un huérfano de padre soldado y madre blanca y pobre, que sobrevive mendigando en la época de la India colonial. Durante su niñez, Kim conoce a un lama, al que se le une en un viaje por India. Durante este viaje, los dos empiezan a familiarizarse con el conflicto político entre el Imperio Ruso y el Imperio Británico llamado "El Gran Juego". Poco después, llega a los oídos del capitán del regimiento del que el padre de Kim formaba parte, que Kim se ha convertido en el discípulo de un lama, y en contra de su voluntad, pero con el apoyo moral y financiero del lama, le manda a estudiar a una prestigiosa escuela británica en India. Después de años de estudio y después de asegurarse un puesto en el gobierno donde Kim trabajará con las operaciones oficiales de "El Gran Juego", el muchacho visita el Himalaya con el lama, donde acabarán involucrados en una trama de espionaje sin darse cuenta. La trama de "Kim" está repleta de elementos dignos de las mejores historias de espionaje y aventuras, lo que convierte esta novela en una de las mejores obras escritas por el premio Nobel de literatura Rudyard Kipling. Sin embargo, uno de los elementos más fascinantes de esta obra es el elemento que juega la religión y misticismo principalmente a manos del lama, y su anhelo por conseguir la iluminación espiritual a través de la búsqueda del legendario Río de la Flecha. Esta combinación de géneros literarios y temáticas que a primera vista no parecen estar conectados, se entrelazan en perfecta harmonía para presentar al lector/a un auténtico clásico de la literatura. "Kim" ha sido adaptada tanto a la televisión como al cine varias veces, incluyendo una primera adaptación estrenada en 1950 y dirigida por Victor Saville. Joseph Rudyard Kipling fue un escritor y poeta británico nacido en 1865 en Bombay. Autor de relatos, cuentos, libros para niños y poesía. Con numerosas adaptaciones cinematográficas, algunas de sus obras más populares son la colección de relatos El libro de la selva (1894), la novela de espionaje Kim (1901) o los poemas "Gunga Din" (1892) y "Si" (1895). Ganador del Premio Nobel de la Literatura en 1907, fue el primer escritor británico en recibir este galardón y el más joven hasta la fecha.

Ltd in October 1901. The story unfolds against the backdrop of The Great Game, the political conflict between Russia and Britain in Central Asia. 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."
