Before there was Indiana Jones there was Allan Quartermain: the original explorer, treasure hunter, and adventurer. The Quartermain books have captivated readers for more than a century, spawning more than a dozen movies and a host of imitators. Join Allan as he relives his past lives with the help of the Holy Flower he discovered in Africa.
About the Author: H. Rider Haggard was an English novelist best known for shaping the lost-world and imperial adventure traditions of late Victorian and Edwardian popular fiction. Born in 1856, Haggard spent formative years in southern Africa, an experience that strongly influenced the settings, conflicts, and atmosphere of many of his adventure novels. His fiction often combines exploration, ancient civilizations, hidden kingdoms, perilous journeys, and larger-than-life romance.Haggard's most famous works include King Solomon's Mines, She, Allan Quatermain, and the wider Allan Quatermain cycle. His novels helped establish patterns later used throughout adventure fiction, fantasy, pulp storytelling, and lost-civilization romance. He was also a writer of historical fiction and supernatural romance, frequently returning to themes of memory, fate, empire, death, reincarnation, and the survival of ancient powers beneath the modern world.
