Rudyard Kipling's classic novel, Kim, is a coming-of-age story set in 19th-century British-ruled India. It follows Kimball O’Hara, an orphaned son of an Irish soldier, who grows up integrated into the local culture of India. Kim's life unfolds across two distinct paths: as a disciple to a wandering Tibetan lama seeking spiritual enlightenment, and as an operative for the British intelligence network, playing a role in the geopolitical struggle known as the "Great Game" between Britain and Russia for control over Central Asia.
