Description

Edited with an Introduction and Notes by Edward W. Said.Kipling's epic rendition of the imperial experience in India is also his greatest long work. Kim, a boy growing into early manhood and the lama, and old ascetic priest - are fired by a quest. Kim is white, a sahib, 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. The lama, meanwhile, searches for redemption from the Wheel of Life.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.
