Description: TRAFFICS AND DISCOVERIES. Rudyard Kipling. Macmillan & Co, London. 1904 First Edition 394pp +22pp adverts The first decade of the 20th century saw Kipling at the height of his popularity. In 1907 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature at the age of 42. The prize citation said: "In consideration of the power of observation, originality of imagination, virility of ideas and remarkable talent for narration which characterize the creations of this world-famous author." Nobel prizes had been established in 1901 and Kipling was the first English language recipient. Rudyard Kipling (30 December 1865 - 18 January 1936) was an English poet, short-story writer, and novelist chiefly remembered for his celebration of British imperialism, tales and poems of British soldiers in India, and his tales for children. Kipling received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907. He was born in Bombay, in the Bombay Presidency of British India, and was taken by his family to England when he was five years old. Kipling is best known for his works of fiction, including The Jungle Book (1894) (a collection of stories which includes "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi"), Kim (1901) (a tale of adventure), many short stories, including "The Man Who Would Be King" (1888); and his poems, including Mandalay (1890), Gunga Din (1890), The White Man's Burden (1899) and If— (1910). He is regarded as a major innovator in the art of the short story; his children's books are enduring classics of children's literature; and his best works are said to exhibit a versatile and luminous narrative gift. This copy is a first edition it is in FINE condition bound in original red linen covered boards with gilt ganesh device to the front board and gilt titling to the spine. There is some pushing to the head and foot of the spine. Gilt page top edges The stock is tight and bright tthere is some foxing to prelims and to the advert secion at the back, otherwise the text is not affected there are no marks, inscriptions or marginalia.

Description: [Short Stories / Strange Tales] FIRST EDITION. Octavo (21 x 14cm), pp.[2] vi; 393 [23]. Publisher's red cloth with gilt titles to spine, and gilt elephant motif stamped to upper. Top edge gilt. Some toning and spotting to edges and endpapers; internally clean. A little toning and wear to spine. Near fine. A quality collection of short stories including the remarkable 'Mrs. Bathurst', with its theme of destructive power and obsessive love, plus the strange tale 'Wireless' which concerns spirit possession, as well as the classic ghost story 'They'; an unsettling tale about a lost motorist and his encounter with a blind woman at the isolated 'House Beautiful', being a companion, rather than a sequel, to the earlier 'Brushwood Boy' fantasy which sees the reappearance of the characters 'Them'. Adept at short fiction, Kipling penned many 'uncanny tales', some being subtle fantasies (They, The Brushwood Boy, The Eye of Allah), whilst others were more overtly supernatural or scientific romances in the manner of Edgar Allan Poe (The Phantom 'Rickshaw, The Mark of the Beast, The Night Mail). Kipling wrote of new inventions and future wars, warned of the social consequences of technological change, and exerted an the most lasting influence on modern science fiction and fantasy writing, according to leading SF writer Poul Anderson; indeed his stories of India, with notions of an (earthly) alien in a strange world are the most salient predecessors of golden age sci-fi. Kipling later stressed he was 'not diving after physical experiences', although he was exposed to and described uncanny events, and was much aware of the irrational premises and feelings of others; his formative professional years were spent in India, a country with a widespread belief in ghosts and spirit reincarnation, and at a time when matters 'psychic' were fashionable throughout Europe.
