Kim (1901) is the story of Kimball O'Hara, the orphaned son of an Irish soldier, who spends his childhood as a Vagabond in Lahore. With an old Tibetan lama he travels through india, enthralled by the 'roaring whirl' and kaleidoscope of the country's landscape and its cities of richly coloured bazaars and immense diversity of people.
The novel is masterpiece of careful organization and skilfully manipulated narative techniques. By portraying Kim's utter devotion to the lama and his ability to share the life of the common people intimately and unselfconciously, kipling creates a vision of harmony-and of India-that unites the secular and the spiritual, the life of action with that of contemplation.
This edition includes a map of north-west India.
Alan Sandison is the former Professor of English at Strathclyde University, and Author of The Wheel of Empire. The General Editor of Kipling in the World's Clasics series is andrew Rutherford, who has also edited Early Verse by Rudyard Kipling 1879-1889 and Kipling's Mind and Art.
