Kim is Rudyard Kipling`s finest work. Now controversial, this novel is a memorably vivid evocation of the life & landscapes of India in the late nineteenth century. Kim himself is a resourceful lad who befriends a lama, an ageing priest; & both embark on a combined quest. Whereas Kim has an insatiable interest in the varied activities around him, the lama seeks redemption from the ` Wheel of Life`. Kim becomes involved in the ` Great Game`, undertaking espionage for the British rulers. This engrossing & moving novel, with its diversity of memorable characters, offers many insights into political, religious & social tensions. ...

Kim, Rudyard Kipling’s epic rendition of the imperial experience in India, is arguably his greatest piece of long prose. Kim, a boy growing into early manhood & the lama, an old ascetic priest
- are fired by a quest. Kim is white, a sahib, although born in India; while he wants to play the Great Game of Imperialism, he is also spiritually bound to the lama & he tries to reconcile these opposing strands. The lama, meanwhile, searches for redemption from the Wheel of Life. Viewed by some as a piece of children’s literature, Kipling’s intended audience was never verified before his death & many literary academics argue that it is a piece of adult literature- either way, what is clear is the book appeals to many ages, perhaps having a greater effect on the older reader. A celebration of their friendship in an often hostile environment, Kim captures the opulence of India’s exotic landscape, overlaid by the uneasy presence of the British Raj- like Forster`s A Passage to India, this is a book that still has profound echoes with today`s multicultural society.
