First published in book form in 1899, and reissued here in the 1928
Macmillan edition, this two-volume collection contains a series of
letters and travel reports originally written for newspapers by the
young Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) on his journeys around India,
Burma, China, Japan and the United States between 1887 and 1889.
The 1907 Nobel Prize winner's characteristic fluid writing style is
already apparent in these funny, poignant and vivid articles and
short stories. Providing revealing insights into Kipling's notions
of imperialism and Englishness, the works also reflect the writer's
keen observational powers, and a telling intelligent self-awareness
of his own cultural prejudices. Volume 2 contains the remainder of
From Sea to Sea, covering the American west coast, Salt Lake City
and Chicago, and describing an encounter with Mark Twain as 'a
moment to be remembered.' This is followed by several short stories
including The City of Dreadful Night.
