About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of The Light that Failed, by Rudyard Kipling. Read by Librivox volunteers. The novel, first published in 1890, follows the life of Dick Heldar, a painter. Most of it is set in London, but many important events throughout the story occur in Sudan or India. It was made into a 1916 film with Jose Collins and a 1939 film by Paramount starring Ronald Colman. It is a tale of of a man who loves his work, friends and boats and starts in Dick’s childhood, then takes you through his life – the war in Sudan, friends abroad, life in England, his love for Maisie, the obstacles those closest to him meet when a very independent man fights becoming dependant and finally the life changes Dick faces as his eyes fail him.(summary by Magdalena)
