Rudyard Kipling 
Kim [EPUB ebook] 

Charged with action and suspense, yet profoundly spiritual,  
Kim vividly expresses the sounds and smells, colors and characters, opulence and squalor of complex, contradictory India under British rule. The book abounds in brilliant descriptions of Indian scenes and deeply sympathetic portraits of her people. Long recognized as Kipling’s finest work,  
Kim was a key factor in his winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907.
