Kim. Редьярд Джозеф Киплинг

Kim - Редьярд Джозеф Киплинг

"Kim" is the story of Kim (Kimball) O'Hara, the orphaned son of a British soldier. Set against the backdrop of «The Great Game» a political conflict between Russia and Great Britain in central Asia, the novel traces the life of the title character from begging and errand running on the streets of Lahore to his schooling at a top English school in Lucknow, where he is trained in espionage, and ultimately to a government appointment where he himself gets to play in «The Great Game.» A classic novel of espionage and adventure, «Kim» is one of Rudyard Kipling's finest works.
