# Kim

By Rudyard Kipling.

"Kim" by Rudyard Kipling is a novel first published in 1901. It follows the adventures of an orphaned Irish boy living as a street vagabond in late 19th-century India. Kim befriends a Tibetan lama seeking spiritual enlightenment and becomes his disciple. Their journey along the Grand Trunk Road draws Kim into the dangerous world of British espionage and the Great Game—the covert struggle between Russia and Britain for control of Central Asia. The novel vividly portrays India's cultures, religions, and teeming populations. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
