Kipling, Rudyard: Complete Works | Illustrated | v.1.0 | 11 Dec 2016
“[Kipling has a]n immense gift for using words, an amazing curiosity and power of observation with his mind and with all his senses, …”—T. S. Eliot. “Kipling is a jingo imperialist, he is morally insensitive and aesthetically disgusting.”—George Orwell. This volume collects the complete writings of Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936, Wikipedia): 4 novels, 351 stories, 553 poems, and 12 non-fiction books. NOVELS The Light that Failed (1891) The Naulahka (1892) ‘Captains Courageous’ (1896) Kim (1901) STORIES Plain Tales From the Hills (1888) Soldiers Three (1888) The Story of the Gadsbys (1888) In Black and White (1888) Under the Deodars (1888) The Phantom Rickshaw and Other Tales (1888) Wee Willie Winkie and Other Stories (1888) Life’s Handicap (1891) Many Inventions (1893) The Jungle Book (1894) The Second Jungle Book (1895) The Day’s Work (1898) Stalky & Co. (1899) Just So Stories (1902) Traffics and Discoveries (1904) Puck of Pook’s Hill (1906) Actions and Reactions (1909) Abaft the Funnel (1909) Rewards and Fairies (1910) A Diversity of Creatures (1917) The Eyes of Asia (1918) Land and Sea Tales (1923) Debits and Credits (1926) Thy Servant a Dog (1930) Limits and Renewals (1932) 46 Uncollected Stories POEMS Departmental Ditties (1886) Barrack-Room Ballads (1892) The Seven Seas (1896) The Five Nations (1903) The Muse among the Motors (1904) The Years Between (1919) 136 Uncollected Poems NON-FICTION American Notes (1891) A Fleet in Being (1898) From Sea to Sea (1899) The New Army in Training (1915) France at War (1915) Sea Warfare (1916) The War in the Mountains (1917) Letters of Travel (1892–1913) (1920) The Irish Guards in the Great War (1923) A Book of Words (1928) Souvenirs of France (1933) Something of Myself (1937) The texts are mostly sourced from Francis Turner’s Kipling Collection. I have checked the formatting for all books, and additionally proofed a bunch of them (‘Captains Courageous,’ Kim, Plain Tales from the Hills, Many Inventions, The Jungle Book, The Second Jungle Book, Stalky & Co., Just So Stories, and A Diversity of Creatures) against early Indian and English book editions. Thousands of mistakes and variants were corrected. More will follow. The texts come with all their original illustrations newly produced from scans, except those of Thy Servant a Dog, which can’t be added before 2022. There are the usual inline tables of contents, links after each text/chapter to get back to the respective tables, and alphabetical indexes for the stories and poems. The collection isn’t complete yet. It does have everything that was contained in the 35-volume Sussex Edition (1937–39) and the Definitive Edition of Kipling’s Verse (1940), but with the most recent Kipling bibliography having more than 800 pages, I’m not crazy enough yet to delve deeper into it. But I might be some day. Best regards, pynch. This work is assumed to be in the Life+70 public domain OR the copyright holder has given specific permission for distribution.

Nice. Thank you.
For a future update, maybe find a color map for Just So Stories, for which the description says: "This is an inciting map of the Turbid Amazon done in Red and Black", but it's only black. (You can find a red and black version in my edition.) |
