Description
It appears there might be a confusion in the names provided. There’s no known book by the title « Kim Kipling, Rudyard. » However, « Kim » is a novel written by Rudyard Kipling, first published in 1901.
« Kim » is a coming-of-age novel set in British-ruled India. The story follows an orphaned Irish boy named Kimball O’Hara, known as Kim. He lives a life as a street urchin in Lahore, where he is noticed by a Tibetan lama seeking a sacred river. They develop a close bond, and Kim becomes the lama’s chela (disciple).
The novel showcases Kim’s experiences as he navigates the complex cultural landscape of India, playing a pivotal role in the British intelligence as a spy while also embracing various aspects of Indian culture. Throughout the narrative, Kim grapples with his identity and his place in the world, torn between his dual heritage and the contrasting worlds of the British and Indian societies.
The novel beautifully captures the essence of the diverse and colorful Indian society of that time, exploring themes of identity, colonialism, and the search for spiritual enlightenment.
