<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>A nice edition with all 12 original illustrations.</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong><em>Kim</em></strong> is a novel by Nobel Prize-winning English author Rudyard Kipling. Kim is the orphaned son of an Irish soldier and a poor Irish mother who have both died in poverty. Living a vagabond existence in India under British rule in the late 19th century, Kim earns his living by begging and running small errands on the streets of Lahore. The story unfolds against the backdrop of The Great Game, the political conflict between Russia and Britain in Central Asia. The novel made the term "Great Game" popular and introduced the theme of great power rivalry and intrigue. It is set after the Second Afghan War which ended in 1881, but before the Third, probably in the period 1893 to 1898. The novel is notable for its detailed portrait of the people, culture, and varied religions of India.</p>
