Sinopsis
A sweeping verse collection that casts empire, exploration, and duty in bold, piercing light.
This edition gathers Kipling’s The Five Nations, Volume 1 of 2, into a muscular, panoramic poetry experience. Its voices range from sea markers and scouts to soldiers and settlers, all framed by a wary, often ironical view of power and progress. Expect vivid scenes, sharp contrasts, and urgent questions about loyalty, land, and the costs of nationhood.
- Experience maritime myth and frontier ambition through forceful, cadenced language.
- Follow explorers, soldiers, and workers as they navigate duty, discovery, and consequence.
- Encounter provocative portraits of empire, race, and modern civilization across a wide emotional range.
- Reflect on how bold action and hard labor shape nations and identities.

Excerpt from The Five Nations, Vol. 1 of 2
Hey christened my brother Of Old And a saintly name he bears They gave him his place to hold At the head Of the belfry-stairs, Where the minster-towers stand And the breeding kestrels cry. Would I change with my brother a league inland (shoal! 'ware shoal!) Not I.

Reseña del editor
Before a midnight breaks in storm, Or herded sea in wrath, Ye know what wavering gusts inform The greater tempests path ;T ill the loosed wind Drive all from mind, Except Distress, which, so will prophets cry, Oercame them, houseless, from the unhmting sky. Ere rivers league against the land In piratry of flood, Ye know what waters slip and stand Where seldom water stood. Yet who will note, Till fields afloat, And washen carcass and the returning well, Trumpet what these poor heralds strove to tell? Ye know who use the Crystal Ball (T opeer by stealth on Doom), The Shade that, shaping first of all, Prepares an empty room.
