Synopsis "Barrack Room Ballads"

The Barrack-Room Ballads, and Other Verses are a set of martial songs and poems by Rudyard Kipling originally published in two parts: the first set in 1892, the second in 1896. Many have become classic military ditties and are still well known, particularly "Gunga Din", "Tommy" and "Danny Deever". Joseph Rudyard Kipling (30 December 1865 - 18 January 1936) was an English short-story writer, poet, and novelist chiefly remembered for his tales and poems of British soldiers in India, and his tales for children. He received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907. He was born in Bombay, in the Bombay Presidency of British India, and was taken by his family to England when he was five years old.

Bombay, (1865-1936). Rudyard Kipling wrote novels, poems, and stories mainly set in India and Burma during the British rule. Kipling was a prolific and popular writer, and his literature always revolves around three axes: patriotism, the duty of the English to lead a life of intense activity, and the destiny of England, called to be a great empire. His insistence on this last aspect was undoubtedly an echo of the Victorian past, and severely damaged his reputation as a writer, despite being the first British author awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
