    Rudyard Kipling

    Rudyard Kipling war der große Chronist Indiens zur Zeit des britischen Empires. Kein Zweiter beschrieb in seinen Romanen, Reportagen und Kurzgeschichten die Fremde des Subkontinents lebendiger und spannender. Joseph Rudyard Kipling (Geb. 30. Dezember 1865 in Bombay; Gest. 18. Januar 1936 in London) war ein britischer Schriftsteller und Dichter. Zu seinen bekanntesten Werken zählen "Das Dschungelbuch" und der Spionage-Roman "Kim". Kipling gilt als wichtiger Vertreter des Kurzgeschichten-Genres und als hervorragender Erzähler. 1907 erhielt er als damals jüngster und erster englischsprachiger Schriftsteller den Literaturnobelpreis, den Rekord als jüngster Literaturnobelpreisträger hält er bis heute. Verschiedene andere Ehrungen und eine Erhebung in den Adelsstand lehnte er ab.

      INTRODUCTION

      Table of Contents

      Mr. Kipling’s brilliant reconstruction of the genesis of the ‘Tempest’ may remind us how often that play has excited the creative fancy of its readers. It has given rise to many imitations, adaptations, and sequels. Fletcher copied its storm, its desert island, and its woman who had never seen a man. Suckling borrowed its spirits. Davenant and Dryden added a man who had never seen a woman, a husband for Sycorax, and a sister for Caliban. Mr. Percy Mackaye has used its scene, mythology, and persons for his tercentenary Shaksperian Masque. Its suggestiveness has extended beyond the drama, and aroused moral allegories and disquisitions. Caliban has been elaborated as the Missing Link, and in the philosophical drama of Renan as the spirit of Democracy, and in Browning’s poem as a satire on the anthropomorphic conception of Deity.

      But apart from such commentaries by poets and philosophers, the poem has lived these many generations in the imaginations of thousands. There, the enchanted island has multiplied and continued its existence. Shelley sang,

      Of a land far from ours

      Where music and moonlight and feeling are one.

      Shakspere created that land as the possession of each of us. Not far removed, but close to the
