King Solomon's Mines de H. Rider Haggard

King Solomon's Mines

Autor H. Rider Haggard
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 feb 2006
"A peculiarly thrilling and vigorous tale of adventure." Andrew Lang
"It goes and it grips and it moves with all the freshness of youth." Rudyard Kipling
When Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island" was first published, H. Rider Haggard made a five-shilling bet that he could write a better adventure tale. In 1885, he created" King Solomon's Mines, "a story in which Allan Quatermain, a gentleman adventurer, is hired to locate a man who had disappeared into the heart of Africa while hunting for the legendary lost diamond mines of King Solomon. The book became an instant sensation and has remained popular ever since.
Tales of adventure in exotic settings were the hallmark of Haggard's art; and "King Solomon s Mines "was no exception. Here were all the elements for which his novels were famous: a gripping tale in a foreign setting, supernatural adventures, terror, passion, and discovery. Praised as the most amazing story ever written, the book went on to become one of the best-selling novels of the nineteenth century."

Descriere

Praised as "the most amazing story ever written," this 1885 story tells the tale in which Allan Quatermain, a gentleman adventurer, is hired to locate a man who has disappeared into the heart of Africa while hunting for the legendary lost diamond mines of King Solomon.

Recenzii

My grandfather used to tell me about King Solomon's Mines; how he repeatedly gave up on the book before he was
eventually won over by this tale of Allan Quatermain, a hunter who leads an expedition in search of a vanished English explorer in the African jungle ... And my grandfather was right: the narrative has all the unstoppable momentum of a charging rhinoceros.

Notă biografică

Sir Henry Rider Haggard (1856-1925) was a prolific British writer of adventure novels set in exotic locations, predominantly Africa. Born in Norfolk, England, Haggard was the eighth of ten children. He attended Ipswich Grammar School before leaving for London, where he worked as an unpaid secretary for a while. In 1875, Haggard travelled to South Africa to serve as the secretary to Sir Henry Bulwer, the governor of Natal. He spent six years in South Africa, during which he gained a deep appreciation for the African landscape, culture and people. These experiences would later provide a rich backdrop for his novels. Haggard returned to England in 1881 and began to focus on his writing career. He wrote his first novel, Dawn, in 1884, but it was his next work, King Solomon's Mines, published in 1885, that brought him widespread acclaim and commercial success. The novel introduced the character Allan Quatermain, a skilled hunter and adventurer who would become the protagonist of many of Haggard's subsequent novels. Haggard continued to write throughout his life, producing over 40 novels, numerous short stories, and non-fiction works. His other notable works include She (1887), Allan Quatermain (1887) and Cleopatra (1889). Haggard's writing was characterized by vivid descriptions of the African landscape and culture, thrilling adventures and a deep sense of spirituality and mysticism.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

When first published, King Solomon's Mines (1885) was an enormous popular success. The narrative follows the explorations of Allan Quatermain, a fortune hunter who travels to Africa in search of ancient treasures and a lost fellow explorer. Written as an adventure story, the novel is also a late-Victorian imperial romance that illuminates the politics of British imperialist capitalism in 1870s and 1880s South Africa.

This edition includes contemporary reviews, other writings by Haggard on Africa and romance, and documents focusing on imperialism and diamond mining in late nineteenth-century South Africa.
