Summary

Kim is Rudyard Kipling's story of an orphan born in colonial India and torn between love for his native India and the demands of Imperial loyalty to his Irish-English heritage and to the British Secret Service. Long recognized as Kipling's finest work, Kim was a key factor in his winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907.

Reader reviews for Kim

From the publisher

Kim, an Irish orphan, accompanies a holy man on his journey throughout India and his quest for a mystical river.

He sat, in defiance of municipal orders, astride the gun Zam-Zammah on her brick platform opposite the old Ajaib-Gher  the Wonder House, as the natives call the Lahore Museum.

About the author

Rudyard Kipling was born in Bombay in 1865. During his time at the United Services College, he began to write poetry, privately publishing Schoolboy Lyrics in 1881. The following year he started work as a journalist in India, and while there produced a body of work, stories, sketches, and poems --including "Mandalay," "Gunga Din," and "Danny Deever"--which made him an instant literary celebrity when he returned to England in 1889. While living in Vermont with his wife, an American, Kipling wrote The Jungle Books, Just So Stories, and Kim--which became widely regarded as his greatest long work, putting him high among the chronicles of British expansion. Kipling returned to England in 1902, but he continued to travel widely and write, though he never enjoyed the literary esteem of his early years. In 1907, he became the first British writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize. He died in 1936

Edward W. Said is University Professor at Columbia, where he has taught English and Comparative Literature since 1963. His books include "Joseph Conrad and the Fiction of Autobiography"; "Beginnings; Intention and Method"; "The Question of Palestine; Literature and Society; The World," "the Text and the Critic; Covering Islam"; "Orientalism; After the Last Sky; Blaming the Victim"; "Musical Elaborations; Culture and Imperialism"; "Representations of the Intellectual"; "Out of Place: A Memoir; The End of the Peace Process"; "Oslo and After and Peace and Its Dicontents: Gaza to Jericho 1993-1995."
