Kim (Collector's Edition) (Laminated Hardback with Jacket)

By Rudyard Kipling

Collector's Edition Laminated Hardback with Jacket

A sharp-witted orphan with the soul of a trickster and the instincts of a survivor roams the bustling streets of colonial India, slipping between cultures with ease. His fate takes a sudden turn when he crosses paths with a wandering Tibetan lama, setting off on a journey that is part spiritual quest, part grand adventure. Along the way, he is swept into the shadowy world of espionage, where he must navigate a treacherous game of secrets and shifting alliances. As the Great Game unfolds around him, he walks the fine line between loyalty and self-discovery, never quite belonging to any world yet shaping them all.

Blending adventure with political intrigue, Kim offers a vivid portrait of colonial India at the height of the British Empire. Through its rich tapestry of cultures, religions, and social hierarchies, the novel captures the tensions and complexities of imperial rule. More than just a thrilling spy story, it serves as a lens into the Great Game-a real-life struggle for power between Britain and Russia in Central Asia. With its enduring themes of identity, loyalty, and cultural fluidity, Kim remains a defining work in both historical fiction and postcolonial discourse.
