( 0 )

Rudyard Kipling (1865 - 1936) sinh ngày 30.12.1865, tên đầy đủ là Joseph Rudyard Kipling, là một trong những nhà văn hàng đầu của nước Anh cuối thế kỷ 19 đầu thế kỷ 20 với sự nghiệp sáng tác đồ sộ, trong đó nổi bật nhất là truyện thiếu nhi.

Ông sinh tại thành phố Bombay, Ấn Độ, trong một gia đình trí thức người Anh. Năm lên sáu tuổi, ông được đưa về Anh học, tuổi thơ của ông nhìn chung là bất hạnh. Kipling trở lại Ấn Độ năm 1882, làm nghề báo. Ông đi đó đi đây, khắp Ấn Độ, rồi sang Mỹ, sang châu Phi, nhờ đó mà tích luỹ nhiều vốn sống cho các trang viết của mình sau này.

Kipling nổi tiếng trước hết là một nhà thơ. Sau khi Lord Tennyson qua đời vào năm 1892, có thể nói Kipling đã chiếm vị trí số một trong lòng công chúng yêu thơ nước Anh. Ông cũng là người viết truyện ngắn và tiểu thuyết lừng danh. Kipling được coi là một "nhà cách tân lớn trong nghệ thuật truyện ngắn", và các truyện thiếu nhi của ông được xếp vào hàng kinh điển. Ông là nhà văn viết bằng tiếng Anh đầu tiên được trao giải Nobel Văn chương (vào năm 1907) và cho đến nay vẫn là người trẻ nhất nhận được giải thưởng danh giá này.

Từ năm 1901, Rudyard Kipling định cư ở Anh và qua đời ngày 18 tháng 1 năm 1936 tại London.
