Kim Rudyard Kipling
The action takes place in British India in the 1880s and 1890s against the backdrop of ā€˜The Great Game’, the political conflict between Russia and Britain which was played out in central Asia. In the character of Kimball O’Hara – an Irish orphan who ā€˜burned black as any native’ - Kipling juxtaposes East and West, embodied by a boy who can blend seamlessly into both worlds.

At once both a gripping adventure story and a spiritual journey, Kim must navigate the swarming roads of India - that ā€˜broad smiling river of life’ - as a disciple to the Buddhist Lama Teshoo. Yet, all the while, he is being drawn into the secret life of a spy. As he comes of age, how long can Kim continue to manipulate his own fate?
