Synopsis "El hombre que quiso ser rey (in Spanish)"

El hombre que quiso ser rey, narración que dio origen a una espléndida película de John Huston, cuenta las peripecias de dos aventureros ingleses para hacerse con el reino de Kafiristán. Utilizando sus conocimientos occidentales para fascinar a los nativos y hacerse pasar por dioses, los dos personajes sentirán el desgarro de la lucha entre su presunto origen divino y sus necesidades humanas, hasta verse abocados a un desastre. Al final del camino pone en escena cuatro ingleses aislados del mundo en la vastedad de la India, y enfrentados a la miseria, el terror y la perdición.

Bombay, (1865-1936). Rudyard Kipling wrote novels, poems, and stories mainly set in India and Burma during the British rule. Kipling was a prolific and popular writer, and his literature always revolves around three axes: patriotism, the duty of the English to lead a life of intense activity, and the destiny of England, called to be a great empire. His insistence on this last aspect was undoubtedly an echo of the Victorian past, and severely damaged his reputation as a writer, despite being the first British author awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
