From Sea to Sea Vol IX

This volume features Kipling's observations from his travels. American Notes captures his sharp and often critical reflections on the United States during his visit in the late 19th century, offering a mix of admiration and critique of American culture. The City of Dreadful Night delves into the oppressive atmosphere of colonial Calcutta, blending vivid descriptions with a sense of foreboding and discomfort. Both works showcase Kipling's keen eye for detail and his ability to evoke mood through travel writing.
