{"product_id":"rudyard-kipling-kim-paperback","title":"Rudyard Kipling, Kim - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eKim is set in an imperialistic world; a world strikingly masculine, dominated by travel, trade and adventure, a world in which there is no question of the division between white and non-white.Two men - a boy who grows into early manhood and an old ascetic priest, the lama - are at the center of the novel. A quest faces them both. Born in India, Kim is nevertheless white, a sahib. While he wants to play the Great Game of Imperialism, he is also spiritually bound to the lama. His aim, as he moves chameleon-like through the two cultures, is to reconcile these opposing strands, while the lama searches for redemption from the Wheel of Life. A celebration of their friendship in a beautiful but often hostile environment, 'Kim' captures the opulence of India's exotic landscape, overlaid by the uneasy presence of the British Raj.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68340606370015,"sku":"9781726252317","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/0rNG-Rqm8y9781726252317.webp?v=1793299926","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/rudyard-kipling-kim-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
