Set against the rich backdrop of British-ruled India, Kim tells the story of Kimball O'Hara, an orphaned boy of Irish descent who grows up on the bustling streets of Lahore. Clever and streetwise, Kim becomes involved in the world of espionage, working as a spy for the British Secret Service while traveling with a Tibetan lama on a spiritual quest. As Kim straddles two cultures—British and Indian—he must navigate questions of identity, loyalty, and purpose. Rich with adventure, philosophy, and vivid descriptions of India's landscape and people, Kim is both a thrilling spy novel and a profound exploration of cultural and personal identity.
