Sinopsis

Rudyard Kipling: Collected Works presents a comprehensive anthology of one of the most significant literary figures of the British Empire. This collection showcases Kipling's masterful command of narrative and verse, offering readers a deep dive into the intricate interplay of adventure, colonialism, and the human condition that characterize his works. From the poignant tales of "The Jungle Book" to the striking poems that grapple with themes of imperialism and identity, Kipling amalgamates rich, evocative language with compelling storytelling. His works reflect the complexities of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, marked by industrialization and the British Empire's expansive reach, making them a vital part of both literary and cultural history. Rudyard Kipling, born in India and later raised in England, imbibed the diversity and contrasts of both cultures. His experiences during the British Raj profoundly influenced his worldview, leading him to explore themes of belonging and dislocation. Kipling's adventures across Asia and Europe provided a rich tapestry of inspiration, while his keen observations about society and politics rendered his narratives not only entertaining but also deeply thought-provoking. For readers of classic literature and those interested in the imperial narratives of the past, Rudyard Kipling: Collected Works is an indispensable addition to any literary canon. This collection invites readers to explore the rich landscapes and multifaceted characters that populate Kipling's imagination, ensuring a profound exploration of both the external world and the inner human experience.

    For the past 20 years I have been to many third world countries in Africa and Asia as a Missionary/Evangelist, often staying for years and living among people in very remote areas. 
    While many people in the world invest so much time and effort 
    in building their lives around comfort and luxury, I do believe that 
    "comfortable is scary!" 
    My Autobiography just published on Amazon is inspirational and motivational! 
    You will get to read unheard facts and feel genuine love for 
    another human being just by reading this phenomenal book.

    The captivating story of how The Sheik captured the imagination of a generation, conquered the wrestling business, and lost it all in a blaze of flame and glory
    		 
    He was the most vicious, bloodthirsty, reviled villain in the history of the ring. During the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, he drew record crowds everywhere he went and left a trail of burned and bloody opponents in his wake. He was The Sheik: the mysterious and terrifying madman from Syria whose wanton destruction and mayhem are the stuff of wrestling legend. But what those legions of fans screaming for his head never knew was that The Sheik was really Eddie Farhat.
    		 
    From Lansing, Michigan, and the son of Arab immigrants, Farhat served his country proudly in World War II and was fulfilling the American dream through hard work and tireless dedication to his craft. And when he wasn’t screaming unintelligibly and attacking his enemies with sharp objects, he was busy being the owner and operator of World Wide Sports, one of the most successful wrestling companies in North America.
    		 
    This is Blood and Fire: The Unbelievable Real-Life Story of Wrestling’s Original Sheik.
