"Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was a unique figure in the literary life of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries: a great writer who was at the same time a great icon of the British Empire. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature and added more phrases to the language than any man since Shakespeare, yet he was also an apologist for imperial government and policies, a man who incarnated an era that was beginning to fade even as he celebrated it. David Gilmour's superbly nuanced biography of Kipling is the first to show the depth and complexity of Kipling's writing and world - from the earliest publications of his youth (his first stories about Anglo-Indian life launched him into celebrity when he was only twenty-four), through his many novels, stories, and poems composed in the triumphant years of Queen Victoria's reign, and then to his astonishing output before and after World War I and during the 1930s, when he lived to see the rise of Hitler threaten England's very existence. Gilmour's detailed, wide-ranging narrative suggests the many reasons why this child of the era of imperial self-confidence, this laureate of the Empire at its apogee, saw early on that the Empire's demise was imminent. The long trajectory of Kipling's life matched the trajectory of the British Empire from its zenith to its final decades - his great poem "Recessional" celebrated Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897, while his last poems warned of the dangers of Nazism - and he himself was transformed from the apostle of success to the prophet of national decline. Throughout, as Gilmour's subtle narrative makes clear, Kipling's brilliantly entertaining, profoundly humane works of art deeply influenced the way his readers saw both themselves and the British Empire. Based on years of extensive research in Britain and in hitherto underexplored archives in the United States, The Long Recessional is a fascinating study of a man who embodied the many paradoxes and difficulties of his age. Gilmour's remarkable accomplishment honors the many ways that Kipling's enduring but mysterious art challenged his own generation - and ours." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

"When I was twenty-four years old I attended a lecture by one of the great scientific minds of our generation - a man who has been compared to Copernicus, Galileo and Einstein - the British physicist Stephen Hawking. During the lecture Professor Hawking posed a question to the audience that seemed to trouble him. Why, he asked, given the relativity of time, can we remember the past but not the future? I have puzzled over his query for some time. And I have wondered if there are those who can indeed remember the future. Maybe that's how my grandfather knew. Maybe that's why he told me when I was still a small boy that the Christmas Box Miracle would happen to me one day. - Richard Paul Evans, from the Preliminary Note/Prologue page. "In 1994, Richard Paul Evans, then an unknown writer, self-published a short book entitle The Christmas Box. That book went on to become an international bestseller, selling more than seven million copies and touching the lives of many more people along the way. The Christmas Box Miracle is the story behind the book that has become a Christmas classic: how a man writes and publishes a book which helps grieving people to heal and lost souls to find their way home. It is Evans's story: his own spiritual journey and stories of people he encountered along the way - miraculous stories of healing and divinity that often defy explanation. In sharing the story behind The Christmas Box, Richard Paul Evans has given us a story of miracles, hope and healing for all seasons." - from the inner front jacket flap. "This is a charming and delightful book and it shows that the true miracle of The Christmas Box is in the thousands of spirits it has lifted and the hearts it has healed." - Mary Higgins Clark. "The world is a much better place because of people like Richard Paul Evans. After reading this, you'll come away feeling that anyone can make a difference. Bravo, Mr. Evans." - David Baldacci, author. "This is the incredible story of Richard Paul Evans's journey to fulfill his destiny to ease the pain of others. After reading The Christmas Box Miracle, I have come to believe that a greater hand was at work here." - Dave Pelzer, author.
