Summary: Nobel Prize winnng author Rudyard Kipling set his final and most famous novel in India of the mid-19th century where an exotic landscape teems with natives living under British colonial rule. Kim, the poor orphaned son of an Irish soldier stationed in Lahore, straddles both worlds. Neither wholly British nor completely Indian, the young boy searches for his identity in the country where he was born, but at the same time, he struggles to create an identity for himself. Cunning and streetwise, Kim is mature beyond his 13 years and learns to move chameleon-like between the two cultures, becoming the disciple of a Tibetan monk while training as a spy for the British secret service. Far above the average adventure story, Kim will captibate Kipling fans as well as others of tales brimming with foreign intrigue and treachery.
