Rudyard Kipling (30.12.1865 – 18.01.1936)

Rudyard Kipling was a famous English writer, poet and novelist. His best works are considered to be “The Jungle Book” and “Mandalay”.

The writer was born on December 30th, 1865, in Bombay, in the family of arts school professor. He was supposedly named after the Lake Rudyard. He spent his early years in exotic India, but at the age of five he was sent to study in England.

When he was 12, he was sent to study at a private school in Devon, afterwards  he studied in a military academy. But due to poor eyesight  he had to choose another path. His father found a job of a journalist for him in British India. Thus, in 1882, he returned to India. Apart from being a journalist, Kipling wrote short stories and poems in his free time. Most of these works were then published in the local newspaper.

The writer died in January of 1936 at the course of long-term gastritis. He was buried in London, in Westminster Abbey.
