Rudyard Kipling's 1897 book Captains Courageous chronicles the exploits of fifteen-year-old Harvey Cheyne Jr., the privileged son of a railroad magnate, who is saved from drowning in the North Atlantic by a Portuguese fisherman. The novel was first published in McClure's as a serial in the November 1896 issue, with the final episode appearing in May 1897. The full work was then released that year as a novel, first by Doubleday in the United States and then by Macmillan a month later in the United Kingdom. It is the only book by Kipling that is totally set in North America. Teddy Roosevelt praised the book and Kipling for "depicting in the liveliest fashion just what a boy should be and do" in his essay "What We Can Expect of the American Kid" from 1900. The title was originally used by Kipling for a piece about merchants as the new adventurers that appeared in The Times on November 23, 1892. The privileged son of a powerful railroad tycoon in California is Harvey Cheyne Jr. from a transatlantic steamer washed overboard, and the crew of the We're Here saved him. Excellent cod fishing tales that include mention of New England whaling, 19th-century steam, sailing, and the cod fishery.

Introduction and Notes by R.T. Jones, Honorary Fellow of the University of York.This edition of the poetry of Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) includes all the poems contained in the Definitive Edition of 1940. In his lifetime, Kipling was widely regarded as the unofficial Poet Laureate, and he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907. His poetry is striking for its many rhythms and popular forms of speech, and Kipling was equally at home with dramatic monologues and extended ballads.He is often thought of as glorifying war, militarism, and the British Empire, but an attentive reading of the poems does not confirm that view. This edition reprints George Orwell''s hard-hitting account of Kipling''s poems, first published in 1942, and generally regarded as one of the most important contributions to critical discussion of Kipling.

Kim celebrates their friendship and their journeys in a beautiful but hostile environment, capturing the opulence of the exotic landscape and the uneasy presence of the British Raj. Filled with rich description and vivid characters, this beguiling coming of age story is considered to be Kipling''s masterpiece.

His most famous works include The Jungle Book (1894), Kim (1901) and the Just So Stories (1902).

This new selection brings together the best of his short writings, following the development of his work over fifty years.

Including the tale of insanity and empire, ''The Man Who Would Be King'', the high-spirited ''The Village that Voted the Earth Was Flat'', the fable of childhood cruelty and revenge ''Baa Baa, Black Sheep'', the menacing psychological study ''Mary Postgate'' and the ambiguous portrayal of grief and mourning in ''The Gardener'', here are stories of criminals, ghosts, femmes fatales, madness and murder.

The narrative presents a thought-provoking examination of imperialism and its impact on both the colonizers and the colonized. Kipling delves into questions of identity and the inherent flaws of human ambition, ultimately questioning the price one must pay for attempting to transcend one's station. With its compelling plot, evocative imagery, and profound themes, "The Man Who Would Be King" remains a powerful exploration of human nature and the consequences of unchecked ambition, solidifying Kipling's status as a literary master.

Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) is perhaps the most controversial major English poetof the last two centuries, not least because of his apparent enthusiasm for the empire. A child of British India, he first became famous for tales of imperial life, notably Kim, the Jungle Book and Barrack Room Ballads. Kipling wrote verse in every classical form from the epigram to the ode, but his most distinctive gift was for the ballads and narrative poems in which he draws vivid characters in universal situations and articulates profound truths in plain language. Yet he was also a subtle and deeply affecting anatomist of the human heart, with a feeling for the natural world which rivals his younger contemporary, D. H. Lawrence. Shattered by World War I in which he lost his only son, his work darkens and deepens in later years, but never loses its extraordinary vitality.

Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) is often regarded as the unofficial Laureate of the British Empire. Yet his writing reveals a ferociously independent figure at times violently opposed to the dominant political and literary tendencies of his age. Arranged in chronological order, this diverse selection of his poetry shows the development of Kipling''s talent, his deepening maturity and the growing sombreness of his poetic vision. Ranging from early, exhilarating celebrations of British expansion overseas, including ''Mandalay'' and ''Gunga Din'', to the dignified and inspirational ''If -'' and the later, deeply moving ''Epitaphs of the War'' - inspired by the death of Kipling''s only son - it clearly illustrates the scope and originality of his work. It also offers a compelling insight into the Empire both at its peak and during its decline in the early years of the twentieth century.

Paragon of English virtues or racist imperialist? Andrew Lycett (acclaimed biographer of Ian Fleming) has returned to primary sources to tell the intricate story of a misunderstood genius who became Britain''s most famous and highest earning author. Among the many new sources, Lycett has discovered previously unpublished letters that illuminate Kipling''s crucial years in India, his first girlfriend (the model for Mrs Hauksbee of Plain Tales from the Hills), his parents'' decision to send him back to England to boarding school; and in his adult life his use of opium, his frustrating times in London and the brief peace he found in America before the devastating loss of both his young daughter and, in the First World War, his son. Lycett also uncovers the extraordinary story of Kipling''s great love for Flo Garrard, daughter of the crown jeweller, and unravels the complicated yet enthralling saga of the American family the Balestiers, and of Carrie Balestier who became Kipling''s wife. This biography is full of new material on Kipling''s financial dealings with Lord Beaverbrook, his friendships with T.E. Lawrence, the painter Edward Burne-Jones and the Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin (who was his cousin).

Mauglího příhody byly nesčetněkrát filmově zpracovány, mezi nejznámější patří animovaný muzikál Kniha džunglí (Wolfgang Reitherman, 1967), nejnovější je snímek Kniha džunglí (Jon Favreu, 2016).

Stal se pomocníkem šéfredaktora anglických novin v Láhaur, kde mu otiskli první verše a krátké povídky. Přestože pak v Indii strávil pouhých sedm let, načerpal tu náměty pro svou nejlepší tvorbu. V 80. letech 19. století se definitivně prosadil jako básník a posléze i jako prozaik. Podnikl cesty do Číny, Japonska a Spojených států. Po sňatku s Američankou Caroline Balestierovou roku 1892 žil čtyři roky ve Vermontu v USA, kde napsal své asi nejslavnější dílo Knihy džunglí. Roku 1896 se s manželkou přestěhoval do Londýna, kde vydal své další romány, ale stále psal i poezii. Své čtenáře zaujal především cizokrajnou tematikou, popisem přírody a zvyků domorodců a pozoruhodným uměleckým jazykem. Přelom století znamenal vrchol jeho literárních úspěchů a roku 1907 mu byla udělena Nobelova cena za literaturu. Třebaže dál aktivně psal až do počátku 30. let, nedosáhl již předchozích úspěchů; jeho tvorbu poznamenala i smrt syna Johna během 1. světové války.

Kipling portrays school as the first stage of a much larger game, a pattern-maker for the experiences of life. Implied throughout the stories is the question ''What happened to these fifteen-year-old boys, and how did the lessons they learned at school apply to the world of warfare and imperial government?'' The stories are based on Kipling''s own school, the United Services College at Westward Ho! in Devon, which prepared boys destined for the army or for colonial service; Kipling himself appears as the subordinate character, Beetle.

First published in 1921, this volume collects some of the most comical stories Kipling published throughout his writing career. These tales derive their humour from absurd situations – a drunken Irish soldier waking up to find himself worshipped as a god in the Indian holy city of Benares, a monkey let loose in an English village – and from lampooning the attitudes and discourses of the time.While presenting many aspects which will be familiar to Kipling readers – rollicking adventures, exotic locales and an interest in the animal world – these Humorous Tales explore the more light-hearted and amusing side to the great master’s work.

Ve svých povídkách inspirovaným prostředím a hodnotami svobodného zednářství se autor obrací k filosofickým tématům, zabíhá do prostředí literárních reminiscencí, odkrývá svět tajemna a spirituality, obrací se k tématu smrti a lidské konečnosti - a to zejména v povídkách časově zasazených do první světové války. Zvláště toto téma je Kiplingovi niterně blízké a autor se jeho prostřednictvím vyrovnává i s vlastní bolestnou ztrátou, se smrtí svého syna, který v mladém věku zahynul na bojišti světové války. Kniha vychází v českém vydání teprve podruhé a to po více než pětaosmdesáti letech.

Among the best loved of all classics for children are the tales of Mowgli, the boy who learned the law of the jungle as he grew up among a pack of wolves in India''s Seeonee Hills. First published in 1894, the book imagines a child living and flourishing in a community of animals - an idea that perhaps had its origin in Kipling''s unhappy childhood. ''His stories are not animal stories in the realistic sense; they are wonderful, beautiful fairy tales, '' wrote Ernest Thompson Seton, the great Canadian naturalist. Kurt Wiese''s illustrations, commissoned by the American firm of Doubleday in 1932, have never appeared in Britain before. An artist with a particular interest in animals and an amazing visual memory, he remembered all he had observed on his travels in the Far East during the early 1900s, first as a salesman in China and then as a prisoner-of-war of the Japanese.

A Brazilian Lord of the Flies, about a group of boys who live by their wits and daring in the slums of Bahia.They call themselves ''Captains of the Sands'', a gang of orphans and runaways who live by their wits and daring in the torrid slums and sleazy back alleys of Bahia. Led by fifteen-year-old ''Bullet'', the band - including a crafty liar named ''Legless'', the intellectual ''Professor'', and the sexually precocious ''Cat'' - pulls off heists and escapades against the privileged of Brazil. But when a public outcry demands the capture of the ''little criminals'', the fate of these children becomes a poignant, intensely moving drama of love and freedom in a shackled land. Captains of the Sands captures the rich culture, vivid emotions, and wild landscape of Bahia with penetrating authenticity and brilliantly displays the genius of Brazil''s most acclaimed author.JORGE AMADO (1912-2001), the son of a cocoa planter, was born in the Brazilian state of Bahia, which he would portray in more than twenty-five novels. His first novels, published when he was still a teenager, dramatize the class struggles of workers on Bahian cocoa plantations. Amado was later exiled for his leftist politics, but his novels would always have a strong political perspective. Not until Amado returned to Brazil in the 1950s did he write his acclaimed novels Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon and Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands (the basis for the successful film and Broadway musical of the same name), which display a lighter, more comic approach than his overtly political novels. One of the most renowned writers of the Latin American boom of the 1960s, Amado has had his work translated into more than forty-five languages.GREGORY RABASSA is a National Book Award-winning translator whose English-language versions of works by Gabriel García Márquez, Mario Vargas Llosa, Julio Cortázar, and Jorge Amado have become classics in their own right.COLM TÓIBÍN, who worked as a journalist in Latin America in the 1980s, is the author of the bestselling novels The Master, which was shortlisted for the 2004 Booker Prize, and Brooklyn.

Vůně Courageous Rose Intense z exkluzivní kolekce Hugo Boss The Collection je poctou moderní mužnosti – odvážné, elegantní a neotřelé. Tato výjimečná parfémovaná voda propojuje hluboké dřevité tóny se vznešeností růže v harmonii, která překračuje hranice klasických vůní pro muže. Úvod vůně zahajuje jiskřivý bergamot, jenž okamžitě probouzí smysly, zatímco geranium a špetka šafránu dodávají kompozici kořenitě-aromatický charakter s nádechem orientální noblesy. Vůně se postupně rozvíjí do květinového srdce, v němž dominuje majestátní růže – jemná, ale mocná, elegantní, ale provokativní. Její sametová podstata se snoubí s kouřovými nuancemi olibana a kadidla, které přinášejí duchovní hloubku a mysteriózní atmosféru. V základu se vůně usazuje do temně dřevitého objetí – santalové dřevo, pačuli, papyrus a muškátový oříšek tvoří komplexní a mužný závěr. Tóny jsou zemitě hřejivé, výrazné a dlouhotrvající, přičemž zůstávají smyslné a kultivované. Tato hloubka je dokonalým vyjádřením odvahy a vnitřní síly, které se skrývají za elegantním zevnějškem. Boss Courageous Rose Intense je vůně pro muže, kteří se nebojí ukázat svou citlivost jako součást síly, kteří vnímají růži nejen jako květinu, ale jako symbol elegance a odvahy. Perfektní volba pro večerní příležitosti, ale i jako osobitý podpis během dne. Vůně byla uvedena na trh v roce 2022 a vytvořili ji Michel Almairac a Steve Guo.
