  • "One of Kipling's most interesting novels, The Light that Failed hovers on the edge of sentimentality for most of its pages, never quite slipping. Dick Heldar is an artist, who becomes successful through drawings of a war in Sudan for one of the London newspapers - this being in the days before photographs filled the newspapers. Returning to London, he begins to work as a serious artist, and re-encounters his childhood playmate, Maisie, and falls in love with her. Just as he begins work on what is to be his masterpiece, he has to seek medical advice for a problem with his eyes and is told that he is going blind, incurably, as a result of the after affects of a head wound received in the Sudan."

  • "First published in 1891, this work is Rudyard Kipling's semi-autobiographical first novel. Critics who had praised his Anglo-Indian short stories were shocked by the unhappy ending and deviation from his usual style. None, however, could deny the power of Kipling's writing. This is the story of war artist Dick Heldar, his doomed relationship with Maisie, and his descent into blindness. Through Dick, Kipling considers the relationship between Art and Life, espousing his belief that the artist has a duty to paint only what he knows to be true."@en

  • "In the story of Dick Heldar, artist and special correspondent for the London newspapers, and of the rise and decline of his fortunes, Kipling charts 'the slow draining of a man's power' with frightening conviction. Orphaned in childhood, already a vetran of the Nile Campaign in his early twenties, Heldar's greatest chance for happiness seems to lie with Maisie, friend of his boyhood and a fellow painter. Although at first she rejects his love his optimism never falters and it is only when Heldar's sight fails him that his hopes wither. As the novel builds to its tragic but curiously triumphant climax, the reader is left shaken and moved by the author's depiction of human suffering."@en
