...Citation Needed. Can someone explain this text blurb? Is it referncing a particular story?
This question / problem has been solved by Ranbirimage
Rudyard Kipling is the Nobel prize winning author.

Kim is his novel.

The game is based on the novel.

The Nobel prize is only awarded for subjects, in this case literature, so it's for the writer's body of work, not individual pieces of art. Like Ranbir said, Rudyard Kipling is a Nobel prize winner and the adventure in question is his novel Kim, not this game.

Hi all,

For anyone who is curious about Kipling's Nobel prize, this is the speech given when it was awarded: http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/literature/laureates/1907/press.html

And this is the bit about Kim:

"Among the large number of Kipling's creations, Kim (1901) deserves special notice, for in the delineation of the Buddhist priest, who goes on a pilgrimage along the banks of the stream that purifies from sin, there is an elevated diction as well as a tenderness and charm which are otherwise unusual traits in this dashing writer's style. There is, too, in the figure of the little rascal Kim, the priest's chela, a thorough type of good-humoured roguishness."

Mh, I see. Alright, thanks.
