Published in 1885, this novel features Allan Quatermain, Haggard's popular two-fisted hero from other novels like King Solomon's Mines. Against the background of a warlike Caucasian tribe hidden away in darkest Africa, Quatermain mourns the loss of his son and experiences a most harrowing and fantastical adventure.
H. Rider Haggard
H. Rider Haggard (1856–1925) was an English adventure novelist. Haggard studied law, but rather than pursuing a legal career took a secretarial position in what is now South Africa. His time there provided the inspiration for some of his most popular novels, including She (1887), an early classic of the lost world fantasy genre and one of the bestselling books of all time.
