Kim

Rudyard Kipling

Kim — The orphaned son of an Irish soldier, Kim lives by his wits on the streets of Lahore and moves easily among India’s languages and communities. When he meets a Tibetan lama searching for a sacred river, he travels with him across northern India, while his talents attract players in the imperial Great Game of espionage. Rudyard Kipling’s novel joins adventure with friendship, identity, faith, and colonial politics.
