"First Impression 1927" Kipling's early poems and stories laid the foundation of his literary reputation. Throughout his life his works enjoyed great acclaim and popularity, but he came increasingly controversial because of his political opinions. Swastika on the spine, front board and title page. This was before the Nazis adopted it as their symbol. Rudyard Kipling was not allied to the Nazi cause. The use of such a symbol, however, can be traced back in antiquity. In Sanskrit the word means "fortunate" or "well-being" but it was used in the Neolithic Europe as a potter's stamp, was incised as a mason's mark in Minoan Crete, was found in Homeric Troy, and in early Indian civilizations. Kipling knew, also, that the Hindu trader opens his annual account-book with a swastika in order to ensure an auspicious beginning. Buddhist migration carried it as far as China and Japan, and other influences to West Africa and America. Early Christian art employed it as a "fylfot", filling the foot of ecclesiastical stained-glass. Light shelf wear on the boards. Contents clean, tight and bright. A very nice copy. Book.
