(Rudyard) Kipling, Joseph Rudyard Kim Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_(novel) "Kim" by Rudyard Kipling is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story unfolds in British India and follows the adventures of a young boy named Kimball O'Hara, known as Kim, as he navigates the bustling streets of Lahore. His journey intertwines with that of a Tibetan lama, introducing themes of spirituality, cultural identity, and the complexities of colonial life. The opening of "Kim" establishes his character as a resourceful street boy of mixed heritage, living in the vibrant and chaotic atmosphere of Lahore. It paints a picture of his playful, shrewd nature as he engages with local children and adults alike. The narrative introduces a mysterious lama searching for the River of the Arrow, a metaphorical and spiritual quest intertwined with Kim’s own hazy memories of a destined purpose linked to a “Red Bull on a green field.” Their meeting marks the start of a pilgrimage that will lead them through a rich tapestry of Indian landscapes and cultures, while Kim’s dual identity presents unique challenges and experiences as he evolves from a beggar to a significant player in the larger schemes of men around him.
