Description
Rudyard Kipling’s 'From Sea to Sea and Other Sketches, Volume 1' brings together travel writing from his journeys through India and beyond in the late 1880s. The volume includes 'Letters of Marque', describing Kipling’s travels through Rajputana, as well as the first twenty-four chapters of 'From Sea to Sea', written from his journey from India towards England through Burma, Singapore, China, Japan and onward to North America. His observations cover landscapes, cities, people, customs and everyday life, combining vivid description with humour and sharp, sometimes controversial opinions. First published in book form in 1899, the work offers a fascinating record of Kipling’s early travels and the attitudes of a young writer travelling through the British Empire.
