About this book

A talented war artist, hardened by adventure and haunted by a lost love, pursues fame and a great masterpiece even as encroaching blindness threatens to destroy everything he lives for. Kipling's first novel is a passionate, melancholy study of art, ambition, and doomed devotion, drawing on his own experiences of journalism and the wider world. Emotionally intense and vividly told, The Light That Failed explores the cost of artistic dedication and the pain of unrequited love. A darker, more personal work than his imperial tales, it reveals the depth of feeling and the storytelling power that would make Kipling one of the most celebrated authors of his age.
