"Kim: Koko maailman pikku ystävä" by Rudyard Kipling is a picaresque novel first published in 1901. The story follows Kim O'Hara, an orphaned Irish boy living as a street vagabond in British-ruled India. Tanned and immersed in local culture, Kim befriends a Tibetan lama seeking spiritual enlightenment. Their journey along the Grand Trunk Road draws Kim into the Great Game—the dangerous political conflict between Russia and Britain in Central Asia—where he trains as a spy while maintaining devotion to his beloved teacher.
