作者简介  · · · · · ·

著者：吉卜林，英国小说家、诗人。以“观察的能力、新颖的想象、雄浑的思想和杰出的叙事才能”，于1907年获得诺贝尔文学奖，他是迄今为止最年轻的获奖者，这也是英国历史上第一个诺贝尔文学奖。吉卜林深受许多国家儿童甚至成人喜爱的作家，他的作品简洁凝炼，新奇浪漫，荡漾着大英帝国式的奋发的精神和意志力，其短篇小说尤为人称道，被誉为“狄更斯的继承人”“英国的巴尔扎克”。马克•吐温曾这样赞美道：“我了解吉卜林的书……它们对于我从来不会变得苍白，它们保持着缤纷的色彩；它们永远是新鲜的。”

译者：刘仲敬，长于新疆，而独以川人自属。尝操宋慈故业，而自授史学。刀下阅尸，笔下著史，足可谓神来转身。昔以文言译休谟《英国史》四卷，开华文先河；著述《民国纪事本末》，亦可堪奇书。
