About this listen
Embark on a captivating journey through the vibrant landscapes of colonial India in Rudyard Kipling's masterpiece, Kim. This timeless tale follows the adventures of Kimball O’Hara, a resourceful orphan of Irish descent, as he navigates a world of intrigue, spirituality, and espionage.
Raised on the bustling streets of Lahore, Kim is a chameleon, effortlessly blending into the diverse cultures of India. His life takes a dramatic turn when he befriends a Tibetan Lama on a quest for enlightenment. Together, they embark on a pilgrimage across the majestic terrain, forging a bond of friendship and understanding.
But Kim's destiny is not solely tied to spiritual pursuits. Recruited by British intelligence, he becomes a player in the Great Game—a covert struggle for power between the British and Russian empires. As Kim balances his dual identities—disciple of the Lama and spy for the Empire—he grapples with questions of loyalty, identity, and the meaning of freedom.

Questo affascinante romanzo di Rudyard Kipling ci mostra un lato dell’India e della cultura buddhista incredibilmente uscito da una penna inglese, in cui tutta la spiritualità orientale, a partire dalla Ruota delle orti e rinascite viene tratteggiata su un o scenario di panorami, di razze e persone comuni, di agenti segreti. Kim, l’allievo del Lama, ci porta con sé, nel suo viaggio iniziatico, in una ridda di avventure . Cornice musicale: Danza macabra, di Saint Saens.
