Rudyard KIPLING (1868 - 1936)
Kim is a fabulous adventure story set in
India during the former British Empire. It tells the story of a
street-wise but (in typical Kipling fashion) highly moral Anglo-Indian
boy who becomes enmeshed the “the Great Game” -– the competition between
Britain and Russia for control over Asia. Taking time off from his role
as the traveling companion of an aged Tibetan lama, the boy is trained
as a spy, matches wits with various evildoers, and wins out in the end.
So much more than just a spy story, Kim is one of the most enjoyable
books that you will ever read -- or have read to you.
