From the busy streets of Lahore to the rough highlands of the North, Kim travels across the subcontinent and meets a cast of people as colorful and varied as India itself. Every figure that Kim meets on his journey for identification, from the enlightened Tibetan Lama to the crafty British secret officers, is important.
This edition not only celebrates the adventure and the intrigue of the Great Game but also delves into the complexities of identity, imperialism, and friendship. With its additional content, including a characters list and an author biography, readers will appreciate not just the story but the historical and literary significance of this enduring masterpiece.
Whether you're revisiting this beloved classic or discovering it for the first time, this illustrated edition of "Kim" promises a reading experience as rich and enduring as the land it describes. Join Kim on his extraordinary journey and explore the depth and diversity of British India through the eyes of one of literature's most gifted storytellers, Rudyard Kipling.

Author

Rudyard Kipling

Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was an English author and poet who began writing in India and shortly found his work celebrated in England. An extravagantly popular, but critically polarizing, figure even in his own lifetime, the author wrote several books for adults and children that have become classics, Kim, The Jungle Book, Just So Stories, Captains Courageous and others. Although taken to task by some critics for his frequently imperialistic stance, the author’s best work rises above his era’s politics. Kipling refused offers of both knighthood and the position of Poet Laureate, but was the first English author to receive the Nobel prize.
