The Man Who Would be King

I still need to be the brother of a prince, although on one occasion I knew closely who could have been a true king, and I was promised the possession of a kingdom: an army, a court of law, income and political principles, all of a time. But now I'm very afraid that my king is dead, and if I want a crown I have to look for it on my own. "This is how this story begins in which two men appear at a newspaper office one hot night: Peachey Carnehan and Daniel Davot, two former soldiers now seeking their lives across India, who have decided to go on the adventure of a lifetime: This is the moving story of two carefree ancient Britons who try to forge their own kingdom in the remote mountains Afghanistan and which, over time, has also proven to be a work of penetrating and enduring political acumen, amid its strident humor and bravado bravado is a devastatingly cunning dissection of imperialism and its heroic pretensions. Written when he was only 22 years old, the story also features some of Rudyard Kipling's most crystal-clear prose and one of the most beautifully interpreted and spectacularly exotic settings he has ever used.
