About This Item
London: Macmillan and Co, 1932. reprint. hardback. Good, no d/j, red leather-bound boards good, with gilt spine titling and cover elephant design bright; pages unmarked and tight; gilt top edges; a little tanned on endpapers, guttering a little loose. . 18mo (170 x 100 / 6_"" x 4""). Macmillan Pocket Kipling: Limits and Renewals, KiplingÕs last collection of short stories, was written shortly after the death of his only son. Unsurprisingly therefore, many of the stories take on the themes of pain, inner suffering and mental anguish, with an on-going exploration into the level of physical and psychological torment that can be endured before a complete breakdown. Dark and penetrating in tone, these are brilliant portraits of a soul in torment with some welcome relief coming in the tales of ÔAunt EllenÕ and ÔThe Miracle of Saint JubanusÕ.
