À propos de cette écoute
Rudyard Kipling’s The Man Who Would Be King is a gripping tale of ambition, imperialism, and tragic downfall. Set in the rugged mountains of 19th-century Afghanistan, this powerful novella follows two British adventurers, Daniel Dravot and Peachey Carnehan, who hatch a daring plan to become kings of a remote tribal land. Disguised as gods and wielding foreign knowledge, the pair at first succeed in gaining the trust and worship of the Kafiristan natives. But their thirst for power blinds them to the fragile nature of illusion and the limits of control.
As Kipling masterfully unfolds their rise and ruin, the story becomes a haunting parable about colonial arrogance, the seduction of myth, and the heavy cost of overreaching ambition. Narrated with wit and sharp insight, The Man Who Would Be King remains a timeless exploration of the human drive to rule—and the forces that always push back.
