Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of all
time
Filled with lyrical, exotic prose and nostalgia for Rudyard
Kipling's native India, "Kim" is widely acknowledged as the
author's greatest novel and a key element in his winning the 1907
Nobel Prize in Literature. It is the tale of an orphaned sahib and
the burdensome fate that awaits him when he is unwittingly dragged
into the Great Game of Imperialism. During his many adventures, he
befriends a sage old Tibetan lama who transforms his life. As
Pankaj Mishra asserts in his Introduction, "To read the novel now
is to notice the melancholy wisdom that accompanies the native
boy's journey through a broad and open road to the narrow duties of
the white man's world: how the deeper Buddhist idea of the illusion
of the self, of time and space, makes bearable for him the anguish
of abandoning his childhood."
