About This Book

Kertomus seuraa vanhaa erämiestä Allan Quatermainia, joka palaa Afrikkaan ja lähtee retkelle poikansa Harryn kanssa. He pyrkivät rikastumaan kultakaivoksilla mutta kokevat vastoinkäymisiä, köyhtymistä ja työn kovuutta, ja samalla tuloksena on kohtaamisia villin luonnon kanssa, joiden keskellä petoeläimet nousevat tarinan vaaraelementeiksi. Teksti yhdistää seikkailun ja luonnonkuvauksen kuvaamalla erämaan vetovoimaa, isyyden ja menetyksen sävyjä sekä ihmisen ja villin ympäristön monimutkaista suhdetta.

About the Author

Haggard, H. Rider portrait

H. Rider Haggard

H. Rider Haggard was a British author and adventurer, best known for his pioneering works in the genre of adventure fiction. His most famous novel, "King Solomon's Mines," published in 1885, is often credited with establishing the template for the modern adventure story. Haggard's writing frequently explores themes of exploration and colonialism, particularly in Africa, where he spent significant time. His characters often embark on perilous journeys, facing both physical and moral challenges. In addition to his adventure novels, Haggard wrote historical fiction and essays, contributing to the literary heritage of the late 19th century. His works, such as "Allan Quatermain" and "She," remain influential in the adventure genre.
