Synopsis "Prophetic Verse: Including "The Gods of the Copybook Headings""

This new collection includes such impressive classics as "The Gods of the Copybook Headings," "The City of Brass," "Recessional," "Jubal and Tubal Cain," "When Earth's Last Picture Is Painted," "If," and many, many more.With prophetic vision, Rudyard Kipling's timeless verse speaks clearly to our own times. He was a keen observer of human nature--and of his times--which were much like our times: government leaders who were inept or corrupt or both, foreign conflicts that never seemed to end (or simply cropped up in other places), a populace who had largely forgotten God, and a general confusion about what was right and what was wrong."Kipling was something rarer than a philosopher; he was a prophet," wrote T. S. Eliot. "He had a gift for prophecy."Kipling's warning voice sounds a clarion call to the troubled and stumbling world of the 21st century.

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.
