Letters of Travel 1892 to 1913 is a collection of letters written by Rudyard Kipling, the famous British writer and poet, during his travels around the world. The book includes letters written during his trips to India, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States, among other places. In these letters, Kipling provides vivid descriptions of the people, landscapes, and cultures he encounters, as well as his own thoughts and observations on various topics. He writes about everything from the beauty of the Taj Mahal to the harsh realities of colonialism in South Africa. The book also includes some of Kipling's more personal letters, such as those written to his family and friends, which offer insight into his personal life and relationships. Overall, Letters of Travel 1892 to 1913 is a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of the greatest writers of the 20th century, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in travel writing, history, or literature.A better way is to spread your picture over all earth; visiting them as Fate allows. Then none can steal or deface, nor any reverse of fortune force a sale; sunshine and tempest warm and ventilate the gallery for nothing, and--in spite of all that has been said of her crudeness--Nature is not altogether a bad frame-maker. The knowledge that you may never live to see an especial treasure twice teaches the eyes to see quickly while the light lasts; and the possession of such a gallery breeds a very fine contempt for painted shows and the smeary things that are called pictures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
