Romaaniklassika. Nobeli auhinnaga pärjatud kirjaniku Rudyard Kipling' novell Kim.

Uus raamat, 224lk. Saad olla esimene lugeja. Järgneb tutvustus ja review'd (müüdav raamat eestikeelne):

Indias sündinud inglise kirjaniku Rudyard Kiplingi (1865–1936) romaan iirlasest sõduri poja, Indias kasvanud terase ja seiklushimulise noore mehe juhtumustest, kes Briti salateenistuse ülesandeid täites rändab vana tiibeti laama saatjana läbi kogu Põhja-India. Nende teekonna kujutus annab värvika pildi sellest maast – erinevatest rahvastest, uskumustest, kommetest.

Considered by many to be Kipling's masterpiece, opinion appears varied about its consideration as children's literature or not. Roger Sale, in his history of children's literature, concludes "Kim is the apotheosis of the Victorian cult of childhood, but it shines now as bright as ever, long after the Empire's collapse...".

About a reissue of the novel in 1959 by Macmillan, the reviewer opines "Kim is a book worked at three levels. It is a tale of adventure...It is the drama of a boy having entirely his boy's own way... and it is the mystical exegesis of this pattern of behaviour..." This reviewer concludes "Kim will endure because it is a beginning like all masterly ends...".

Nirad C. Chaudhuri considered it the best story (in English) about India itself – singling out Kipling’s appreciation of the ecological force of “the twin setting of the mountains and the plain...an unbreakable articulation between the Himalayas and the Indo-Gangetic plain”.
