KIM ENGLISH EDITION - RUDYARD KIPLING KARTONIER...

The Penguin English Library Edition of Kim by Rudyard Kipling    'He knew the wonderful walled
city of Lahore from the Delhi Gate to the outer Fort Ditch  was hand in glove with men who led
lives stranger than anything Haroun al Raschid dreamed of  and he lived in a life wild as that
of the Arabian Nights ...'   Kipling's epic rendition of the imperial experience in India is
also his greatest long work. Two men - Kim  a boy growing into early manhood  and the lama  an
old ascetic priest - are fired by a quest. Kim is white  although born in India. While he wants
to play the Great Game of imperialism  he is also spiritually bound to the lama and he tries to
reconcile these opposing strands. A celebration of their friendship in an often hostile
environment  Kim captures the opulence of India's exotic landscape  overlaid by the uneasy
presence of the British Raj.  The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in
English  from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First
World War.
