The Man Who Would Be King

In the remote valleys of Afghanistan, two British adventurers, Daniel Dravot and Peachey Carnehan, set out on a daring quest to become kings of Kafiristan. Using their wit, charisma, and a bit of luck, they manage to establish themselves as rulers, revered by the local people as gods. However, their newfound power soon proves to be their downfall as they become entangled in a web of betrayal, greed, and hubris.
In The Man Who Would Be King Kipling delves into the complexities of colonialism and its effects on both the colonizers and the colonized, raising questions about power, identity, and the pursuit of greatness. Through vivid characters and gripping storytelling, Kipling offers a thought-provoking examination of the human condition and the consequences of unchecked ambition.

JOSEPH RUDYARD KIPLING [1835-1936] was an English author born in British India and a Nobel Prize laureate in literature. Kipling was one of the most popular writers in the United Kingdom during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with timeless classics such as The Jungle Book and Kim.
