[EAN: 9780297819073], Gebraucht, guter Zustand, [PU: London. Weidenfeld and Nicholson], BIOGRAPHY, LITERATURE, VICTORIAN, London. Weidenfeld and Nicholson. 1999. First paperback printing. Soft Covers. Medium 8vo 6.5 x 9.3 inches (16.5cm x 23.4cm) approx. 500 pp. Cover shows author in 1900 by John Collier. The book has a few spots of wear to the edge of the text block only. Corners and spine ends are sharp. There is the beginning of a crease at the spine head but the rest is uncreased suggesting the book may not have been read. Black and white illustrations as chapter headpieces. Set of glossy monochrome photographs in the text. Book plate illustration to the front free endpaper. Minimal wear; book is practically fine. Andrew Lycett (acclaimed biographer of Ian Fleming) has returned to primary sources to tell the intricate story of a misunderstood genius who became Britain's most famous and highest earning author. Among the many new sources, Lycett has discovered previously unpublished letters that illuminate Kipling¿s crucial years in India, his first girlfriend (the model for Mrs Hauksbee of Plain Tales from the Hills), his parent's decision to send him back to England to boarding school; and in his adult life his use of opium, his frustrating times in London and the brief peace he found in America before the devastating loss of both his young daughter and, in the First World War, his son. This biography is full of new material on Kipling's financial dealings with Lord Beaverbrook, his friendships with T.E. Lawrence, the painter Edward Burne-Jones and the Conservative politician and Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin who was his cousin.
