Autorenporträt
Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was an English journalist, short-story writer, poet, and novelist, born in India, which influenced much of his work. Kipling is regarded as an innovator in the art of the short story; his children's books are enduring classics of children's literature; and his best works speak to a versatile and luminous narrative gift. Kipling was one of the most popular writers in England, in both prose and verse, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. 'Captains Courageous' (1897), one of Kipling's most beloved works, is a nautical adventure novel that follows the son of a millionaire who falls overboard from an ocean liner and is rescued by a fishing schooner from the Grand Banks. It is a classic coming-of-age story set on the high seas, whereby the young protagonist, Harvey Cheyne, learns valuable life lessons through the rugged lifestyle of the fishermen. Through his range of characters, Kipling captures the essence of the Atlantic fishing industry with its dangers and camaraderie. The story emphasizes themes of resilience, humility, and the value of hard work, mirroring Kipling's broad literary style emphasizing human experience and observations from different parts of the British Empire. Kipling's innovative narrative techniques, along with his interest in the lives of common soldiers and his ability to imbue tales with psychological depth, remain influential to this day. His works, including 'Captains Courageous', occupy a significant place in British literary heritage and continue to be studied and appreciated for their artistic merits and cultural insights.
