Summary: "Kim: Koko maailman pikku ystävä" by Rudyard Kipling is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows a young boy named Kim, who navigates the complex societal landscape of colonial India. Born to a poor Irish soldier in Punjab, Kim lives a life filled with adventure, deceit, and spiritual exploration, interacting with both British and Indian characters. The opening of the novel introduces us to Kim playing near a historic cannon in Lahore, setting the stage for his mischievous nature and the vibrant, multicultural backdrop of British-occupied India. Kim's identity is blurred as he resembles both the local residents and the British, leading to a life of independence as he befriends various characters, including an old Tibetan Lama searching for a sacred river. The narrative establishes Kim's charming persona as “the little friend of the whole world” and hints at his larger journey that intertwines with themes of spirituality and cultural encounters.
