Sinopsi Kim by Rudyard Kipling

Kimball O?Hara, the orphaned son of an Irish soldier, spends his childhood on the bustling streets of Lahore, begging and running errands in order to survive. One day he meets an old Tibetan lama, and he decides to accompany him on his travels across the Indian Subcontinent. After falling into the hands of his father?s old regiment, however, Kim is separated from the lama and sent away to school. There, his natural flair for espionage is spotted, and he soon finds himself among the majestic peaks of the Himalayas, playing a crucial part in the secret service?s confrontation withRussia known as the 'Great Game'.With its peerless evocation of the teeming cities, breathtaking landscapes and diverse cultures of late-nineteenth-centur y India, Kim is widely considered to be Kipling?s masterpiece and one of the greatest novels written in the English language.
