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.
