Synopsis

The story unfolds against the backdrop of The Great Game, the political conflict between Russia and Britain in Central Asia. It is set after the Second Afghan War which ended in 1881, but before the Third. The novel is notable for its detailed portrait of the people, culture, and varied religions of India.

The book presents a vivid picture of India, its teeming populations, religions, and superstitions, and the life of the bazaars and the road.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was an English writer and poet whose work is closely associated with the literature of the British Empire. Born in Bombay (now Mumbai), India, he spent his early years immersed in the languages, cultures, and environments that would later inform much of his writing. His familiarity with the region contributed to the detailed settings and observational quality found in works such as Kim.Kipling's body of work includes novels, short stories, and poetry, among them The Jungle Book, Just So Stories, and numerous tales set in India and beyond. In 1907, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, becoming the first English-language writer to receive the honour. His writing continues to be studied for its narrative skill, its portrayal of place, and its role within the literary and historical context of its time.
