Kim is a novel by Rudyard Kipling, considered a classic of literature, now famous especially among historians because of the portrait of historical interest that Kipling track of the British imperial period, now engaged on several fronts, in the "big game", or control of the far east then contended with tsarist Russia and, in part, with the French empire. It is, apparently, a text "without plot", so in the usual, pedantic and useless presentation of the curator of the text on duty, rightly written in times when you could take care of what you liked without paying attention to the readers. The book is a training novel focused on the character of Kim, an orphan boy, raised on the streets of Indian cities of British colonial rule. Kipling's love for India and his character is evident, a perfect cross between Western qualities and oriental cunning and "eternity". Kim is a young orphan of Irish descent who, by chance, finds himself helping a guru of some Buddhist sect, who came from China to find the spot where an arrow fell and a purifying river was born, according to the Buddhist tradition.
