Soldiers Three
Kipling, Rudyard
Synopsis "Soldiers Three"
'Soldiers Three' is a short stories composition written by Rudyard Kipling. It has three sections which were previously published in separate sections. Learoyd, Mulvaney and Ortheris are the three soldiers - an Irish man, a Yorkshire man and a Londoner. These stories disclose soldiers life in Afghanistan and British policies rarely seen earlier to maintain British influence. These soldiers convey the raw fact of the war, in the mid-east as the British began to loosen their imperial hold. The characters about whom the stories are concerned are native Indians, rather than the British for writing about whom Kipling may be better known. The stories are good for those readers who enjoy history theater, short works of fiction and historical fiction. The play on Gadsby is the main justifying element of this book. This story of Gadsby is written in melodramatic form, comprising of eight short scenes. This short narration of 100 pages, was later collected in book form as the second part of Soldiers Three. Four of the stories are explained by the Indians, and four by an English journalist.
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.
