Kim

Kim here. Kim here. What exactly is Kim? It was echoed repeatedly in his soul. An Irish orphan named Kimball Kim O'Hara lives on the edge. He undertakes tiny tasks for Mahbub Ali a horse merchant and spy while begging on the streets of Lahore British India. Kim becomes his disciple and travels with the elderly Tibetan lama on his quest for enlightenment after becoming friends with him one day. The old lama is searching for the fabled and sacred River of the Arrow. What transpires as they journey together and discover the Great Game along the Grand Trunk Road? Rudyard Kipling's Kim is a gripping coming-of-age tale set against the backdrop of the Anglo-Russian competition in Central Asia at the end of the nineteenth century.
