"From Sea to Sea; Letters of Travel" by Rudyard Kipling is a collection of travel letters written in the late 19th century. The text compiles correspondence and articles penned by Kipling for the "Civil and Military Gazette" and the "Pioneer" during his observations in India and other regions. The book captures Kipling's reflections and experiences as he navigates through various locales, engaging with the people and cultures he encounters. The opening of the work introduces Kipling's perspective on travel through the eyes of both an experienced observer and a somewhat critical voice towards less discerning tourists—the "Globe-trotters." He vividly describes the enchanting sight of the Taj Mahal as viewed from a train, revealing the complexities of first impressions and the deeper meanings woven into such experiences, including sorrow and beauty. Through encounters with characters like a Young Man from Manchester, Kipling illustrates the often superficial perceptions of travelers, contrasting their nonchalant attitudes with the depth of emotion tied to the places they visit. This section sets the tone for a broader exploration of India, marked by a rich blend of cultural insights and social commentary. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
