Stalky & Co.
Kipling, Rudyard
Synopsis "Stalky & Co."
Full text.Stalky and Co. is a collection of linked school stories whose juvenile protagonists display a know-it-all, cynical outlook on patriotism and authority. According to his family, Kipling enjoyed reading aloud stories from Stalky and Co. to them and often went into spasms of laughter over his own jokes, probably because this novel is based on his own experiences at the United Services College. Indeed, Kipling himself appears as the central character called Beetle and through him shows how school is a pattern-maker for the experiences of life.The stories have elements of revenge, the macabre, bullying and violence, and hints about sex, making them far from childish or idealised.
Bombay, (1865-1936). Rudyard Kipling escribió novelas, poemas y relatos ambientados principalmente en la India y Birmania durante la época de gobierno británico. Kipling fue un escritor prolífico y popular, y su literatura gira siempre en torno a tres ejes: el patriotismo, el deber de los ingleses de llevar una vida de intensa actividad y el destino de Inglaterra, llamada a ser un gran imperio. Su insistencia en este último aspecto era sin duda un eco del pasado victoriano, y perjudicó gravemente su reputación como escritor, a pesar de que fue el primer autor británico galardonado con el Nobel de Literatura.
