KIPLING, Rudyard - The Light that Failed - (Hardcover)

Seems to be one of the rather attractive World's Best Classics series - Book still in great condition - Previous owner's name inside.

>>>    The Light That Failed is a novel by the Nobel Prize-winning English authorRudyard Kipling that was first published in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine dated January 1891. Most of the novel is set in London, but many important events throughout the story occur in Sudan and Port Said. It follows the life of Dick Heldar, an artist and painter who goes blind, and his unrequited love for his childhood playmate, Maisie.

It is Kipling's first novel, written when he was 26 years old, and is semi-autobiographical; being based upon his own unrequited love for Florence Garrard. The novel has managed to remain in print for over a century. It was also adapted into a play, two silent films as well as a drama film.
