Ebook About This book is for all those who love Kim, that masterpiece of Indian life in which Kipling immortalized the Great Game. Fascinated since childhood by this strange tale of an orphan boy's recruitment into the Indian secret service, Peter Hopkirk here retraces Kim's footsteps across Kipling's India to see how much of it remains. To attempt this with a fictional hero would normally be pointless. But Kim is different. For much of this Great Game classic was inspired by actual people and places, thus blurring the line between the real and the imaginary. Less a travel book than a literary detective story, this is the intriguing story of Peter Hopkirk's quest for Kim and a host of other shadowy figures.Book Quest for Kim: In Search of Kipling's Great Game Review :
Bottom Line: Paperback edition of The Quest for Kim by Peter Hopkirk is an easy read but not up to his standard. Author and Historian Peter Hopkirk is one of the best resources for topics related to the Great Game. In the Quest for Kim he steps away from being a historian of the British Raj and indulges his passion for the eponymous novel. His assumption is that you share his opinion of Kim and his interest in identifying the original people and places that inspired Kipling. This is a rewarding read for fans of Kim (Illustrated edition) less so for fans of Rudyard Kipling and at best a maybe for a traveler into India and or Pakistan looking for a unique travel guide or vacation theme. Much of this border area is not safe such that Hopkirk could not follow his original travel plans.Professor Hopkirk is attempting to honor a favorite book. His original goal was to retrace the route of the fictional character and while doing so to revel the historic people behind the characters and tell us where to go to find the specific locations mentioned in the novel.Some of these goals are fairly easy. Citing two examples from early in the book, Kipling’s father was the curator of the museum in Lahore where the book opens. After this obvious identification, Hopkirk uses his scholarship and his luck to determine that the modern location for the Wonder House is not the same as the one known to Kipling via his father. Later identifications will prove impossible or left to conjecture.In between there is a lot of ruminations on the slaughter that accompanied the independence of India from the British and the concurrent partition of the colony into the nations of India and Pakistan. When not discussion this bloody period and the continuing suspicions and violence between these neighbors, Hopkirk distracts us with his over enthusiasm for this novel.The result is a book with fewer and lessor discoveries than might be expected and too much insistence that the Kipling novel is better than it is. The reader does get some interesting ideas for a tour of lessor known tourist destinations in the sub-continent, and some warnings about where it remains unsafe. With Peter Hopkirk, you can't go wrong. Having read "The Great Game" as well as several other of his books, I can make this statement--if you have a curiosity about the 19th century British and India and Russian spies, well, this true history gives you a tremendous appreciation for these brave and wily men. What an adventure it is to read anything written by Hopkirk!I should add that if you haven't read "Kim" by Rudyard Kipling, you might want to read "The Quest For Kim" first as you will have a much better feel for the story. I found that after reading "Quest" I just had to re-read "Kim" and enjoyed it even more than my first reading.
