With a new Introduction by Cedric Watts, Research Professor of
English, University of Sussex. Kim is Rudyard Kipling's finest
work. Now controversial, this novel is a memorably vivid evocation
of the life and landscapes of India in the late nineteenth century.
Kim himself is a resourceful lad who befriends a lama, an ageing
priest; and 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 and moving novel, with its diversity of memorable
characters, offers many insights into political, religious and
social tensions.
