Product Description

Book Description

"A submarine is like a cat; they won't tell you who they were with last night and they spend most of their time sleeping". Sea Warfare (originally published in 1917) is a collection of stories from the classic writer Rudyard Kipling.

Kipling was much concerned with the conquests of the English overseas, and many of these ventures involved naval battles with the natives the English were trying to conquer. Kipling wrote of these. His romantic imperialism and his characterization of the true Englishman as brave, conscientious, and self-reliant did much to enhance his popularity.

This volume includes: The Fringes Of The Fleet, Tales Of "The Trade", Destroyers Of Jutland and various poems. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.



About the Author

Kipling was born in Bombay, but educated in England at the United Services College. In 1892 he returned to India, where he worked for Anglo-Indian newspapers. His literary career began with Departmental Ditties, but subsequently he became chiefly known as a writer of short stories. A prolific writer, he achieved fame quickly. Kipling was the poet of the British Empire and its yeoman, the common soldier, whom he glorified in many of his works. In 1894 appeared his Jungle Book, which became a children's classic all over the world. Kim (1901), the story of Kimball O'Hara and his adventures in the Himalayas, is perhaps his most felicitous work. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
