The beginning of everything was in a railway train upon the road to Mhow from Ajmir. There had been a deficit in the Budget, which necessitated travelling, not Second-class, which is only half as dear as First-class, but by Intermediate, which is very awful indeed. There are no cushions in the Intermediate class, and the population are either Intermediate, which is Eurasian, or native, which for a long night journey is nasty; or Loafer, which is amusing though intoxicated. Intermediates do not patronize refreshment-rooms.
Two adventurers set out to claim a kingdom—and discover the terrible price of ambition.
In British India, Daniel Dravot and Peachey Carnehan make an audacious pact: they will cross the mountains into remote Kafiristan, build an army, and rule as kings. Rudyard Kipling’s gripping tale moves from railway carriage to mountain kingdom, balancing high adventure with a darkly memorable study of pride, friendship, and power.
