Sinopsis

Kim is an orphan boy who grows up among the streets, bazaars, and roads of colonial India, learning from an early age to move effortlessly between cultures, languages, and traditions. Gifted with extraordinary intuition and an ambiguous identity, Kim is drawn into a world of travel, espionage, and secrets known as the Great Game, where imperial powers compete for control of the land.

Accompanied by an elderly Tibetan lama in search of spiritual enlightenment, Kim journeys across a vibrant and contradictory country, torn between political intrigue and inner discovery. On this initiatory journey, the boy must decide who he truly is and to which world he belongs. Published in 1901, Kim stands as one of the great adventure novels of world literature, an unforgettable portrait of India, cross-cultural friendship, and the passage from childhood to maturity in a landscape as fascinating as it is dangerous.

    Before time as we know it began, gods and goddesses lived in the city of Asgard. Odin All Father crossed the Rainbow Bridge to walk among men in Midgard. Thor defended Asgard with his mighty hammer. Mischievous Loki was constantly getting into trouble with the other gods, and dragons and giants walked free. This collection of Norse sagas retold by author Padraic Colum gives us a sense of that magical time when the world was filled with powers and wonders we can hardly imagine.
