Summary

The "Rudyard Kipling Ultimate Collection (Illustrated)" presents a comprehensive anthology of Kipling's most celebrated works, seamlessly blending his imaginative storytelling with striking illustrations. This collection encapsulates the essence of the late 19th and early 20th century, showcasing Kipling's mastery in weaving tales of adventure, imperialism, and the natural world. The literary style is characterized by a rich use of language, vibrant imagery, and a keen insight into both human and animal nature, making it a quintessential representation of colonial literature, marked by both cultural celebration and critique. Rudyard Kipling, one of the most influential writers of the British Empire, was shaped by his vast experiences, including his childhood in India, which deeply influenced his literary themes and perspectives. His unique vantage point provided him with the ability to navigate the complexities of colonialism, leading him to author an array of works that offer insights into the lives of diverse characters, from soldiers to animals, reflecting his belief in the interconnectedness of all beings. This ultimate collection is highly recommended for readers interested in the nuances of imperial prose and the interplay between adventure and morality. Whether you are a long-time admirer or discovering Kipling for the first time, this beautifully illustrated anthology serves not only as a testament to his literary genius but also as an essential addition to any literary library.

    Hanns Heinz Ewers was born on 3rd November 1871 in Düsseldorf, Germany. 
    His first published poem was at 17 on the death, after a reign of only 99 days, of the German Emperor Frederick III. 
    A stint in the German military was cut short after only 44 days because of his myopia.  Writing was to be the way forward for him with a book of satiric verse published in 1901. At the same time he co-founded a literary vaudeville troupe that toured central and eastern Europe before censors and expenses forced its closure.  An inveterate traveller he was in South America when the Great War enveloped Europe and he relocated to New York. 
    From here his story darkens. Although by now a successful and admired author he was arrested in the U S in 1918 as a German Agent on the pretext of his travels and a falsified Swiss passport. Interned, he was released in 1921 and returned to Germany.  He claimed only to be raising money for the German Red Cross. 
    His literary fame is decidedly easier to clarify. His novels beginning with ‘The Sorcerer’s Apprentice’ in 1910 are dark, they bristle with evil intent and are littered with characters who have a dubious moral compass and yet, along with his short stories, are brazen, brilliant feats of literary narrative. 
    He also wrote and published plays, fairy tales, opera librettos, critical essays and lectured for many years on ‘The Religion of Satan’ and was one of the first to write scripts for the cinema, which he considered a legitimate art form. 
    As the Weimar republic began its chaotic death throes Ewers became attracted to the rising Nazi Party.  At first he was warmly received despite disagreeing with its anti-semitism (his most famed literary character had a Jewish mistress) and he was even commissioned by Hitler to write a biography of the Nazi martyr Horst Wessel.  This together with his own homosexuality culminated with his works being banned in 1934 and his assets and property seized.  It took him many years to have the ban lifted.  This association rightfully clouds his personal reputation but has meant his literary contributions are also overlooked and neglected. 
    Hanns Heinz Ewers died of tuberculosis on 12th June 1943 in his Berlin apartment.
