Charles Eliot Norton

    Charles Eliot Norton bol uznávaným autorom, prekladateľom, spoločenským kritikom a liberálnym aktivistom. Jeho oddanosť umeniu a remeslám z neho urobila popredného amerického zástancu tohto hnutia. Na Harvarde pôsobil ako profesor dejín umenia, kde mu bolo vytvorené špeciálne kreslo, a ako prvý prezident Archeologického inštitútu Ameriky. Jeho odkaz žije v podobe prestížnych prednášok Charlesa Eliota Nortona na Harvarde a v časti jeho knižnice, ktorú odkázal univerzite.

      First published in 1888, Plain Tales from the Hills was Kipling's first volume of prose fiction. Most of the stories it includes had already appeared in the Civil and Military Gazette they were written before he reached the age of 22; and they show a remarkably precocious literary talent. His vignettes of life in Brittish India a hundred years ago give vivid insight into Anglo-India at work and play, into a barrack-room life, and into the character of Indians themselves.
