책소개

Kipling sets sail across the Pacific, arriving in San Francisco with a mixture of curiosity and skepticism. He navigates the energetic, fast-paced American cities, documenting the country’s industrial growth and democratic spirit. He meets people from all walks of life, from wealthy businessmen to struggling laborers, and offers sharp critiques of American attitudes and politics. The vast landscapes of the American West captivate him, yet he remains wary of the nation’s aggressive expansion and ambition. As he travels to the East Coast, he explores New York City, analyzing its cultural and financial dominance. His impressions of America are complex—both admiring its energy and questioning its future direction.

저자(글) Rudyard Kipling

Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936) was a British writer and poet best known for his works set in British colonial India. Born in Bombay (now Mumbai), he was sent to England for his education but later returned to India, where he worked as a journalist and began his literary career. His writing often explored themes of empire, adventure, and duty, reflecting both admiration and critique of British imperialism.
Kipling gained international fame with works such as The Jungle Book (1894), Kim (1901), and the poem If— (1910), which remains widely quoted. His distinct narrative style and deep knowledge of Indian culture contributed to his success. In 1907, he became the youngest recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature, recognizing his literary achievements.
Despite his acclaim, his pro-imperialist views have led to ongoing debates about his legacy. His works continue to be studied for their literary merit and historical context, making him a complex and influential figure in English literature.
