Kim – Rudyard Kipling by Rudyard Kipling

"To those who follow the Way there is neither black nor white, rich nor poor. One is One and All is One."

Kimball O'Hara, an Irish orphan living on the streets of Lahore, becomes the disciple of a Tibetan lama on a spiritual quest. Simultaneously, he is recruited by the British Secret Service to participate in the 'Great Game' of espionage against Russia. He moves effortlessly between these two worlds, traveling the Grand Trunk Road of India.

Kipling's masterpiece is a vibrant, panoramic portrait of India under the Raj. It is an adventure story, a spy thriller, and a spiritual journey all in one, celebrated for its deep sympathy for the people and culture of India.
