About this ebook
Two British adventurers, Daniel Dravot and Peachey Carnehan, set out for the mountains of Kafiristan with a daring dream: to become kings of an unknown land. Armed with little more than their wit, boldness, and blind faith in fortune, they achieve the impossible—conquering an isolated kingdom and being hailed as gods by its people. With The Man Who Would Be King, Rudyard Kipling delivers a masterful tale of adventure, greed, and the clash of cultures. A fable of empires and men that, more than a century later, remains an unforgettable story about human ambition and its limits.
About the author
Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936) was a British writer, poet, and journalist born in Bombay, renowned for his ability to narrate adventures and capture the contrasts of the British Empire. Author of classics such as The Jungle Book, Kim and The Man Who Would Be King, he received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1907, becoming the youngest laureate in history. His work, marked by imagination, exoticism, and vibrant prose, has left a lasting influence on world literature.
