Joseph Rudyard Kipling was an English short-story writer, poet, and novelist. was one of the most popular writers in England, in both prose and verse, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. George Orwell called him a "prophet of British imperialism".
«The Conversion of Aurelian McGoggin» is a short story which was first published in the «Civil and Military Gazette». The story is about Aurelian McGoggin is a young man fresh out to India. He is much influenced by the ideas of Auguste Comte and Herbert. This story is one where Kipling tries to make sense of the whole Indian experience, or at least portray it to those living in the United Kingdom, and betrays an anti-intellectual pose as the bluff common-sensical man. Kipling's insights into the human condition are well worth reflecting on today and cover the full range from light humor to irony to deep pathos!
