About this ebook
Published in 1890, The Light that Failed tells the story of Dick Heldar, a soldier and artist wounded in the Sudan who returns to London to paint his masterpiece as his eyesight rapidly fails. The novel first appeared in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine, but Kipling changed the ending for its publication in book form.
Rudyard Kipling
Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was an English author and poet who began writing in India and shortly found his work celebrated in England. An extravagantly popular, but critically polarizing, figure even in his own lifetime, the author wrote several books for adults and children that have become classics, Kim, The Jungle Book, Just So Stories, Captains Courageous and others. Although taken to task by some critics for his frequently imperialistic stance, the author’s best work rises above his era’s politics. Kipling refused offers of both knighthood and the position of Poet Laureate, but was the first English author to receive the Nobel prize.
