Beschreibung zu „10 FANTASTICAL ADVENTURES“

This carefully crafted ebook: "10 FANTASTICAL ADVENTURES: The People of the Mist, She, Allan and the Ice-gods, The World's Desire, Eric Brighteyes, Ayesha, Wisdom's Daughter, She and Allan, Love Eternal & Heu-Heu" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents.
"She" is one of the classics of imaginative literature, and one of the best-selling books of all time. She was extraordinarily popular upon its release and has never been out of print. The story is a first-person narrative that follows the journey of Horace Holly and his ward Leo Vincey to a lost kingdom in the African interior. There they encounter a primitive race of natives and a mysterious white queen named Ayesha who reigns as the all-powerful "She", or "She-who-must-be-obeyed". In this work, Rider Haggard developed the conventions of the Lost World subgenre, which many later authors emulated.
"Ayesha, the Return of She" is a gothic-fantasy novel, a sequel to his far more popular and well known novel, She.
"The People of the Mist" is the tale of a British adventurer seeking wealth in the wilds of Africa, finding romance, and discovering a lost race and its monstrous god.
"Allan and the Ice-Gods" featurs the famous character Allan Quartermain, and it is based on an idea given to Haggard by Rudyard Kipling. The story details Quartermain's past life regression to a stone-age ancestor and the various adventures involved.
"She and Allan" is a novel, in which Haggard brought together his two most popular characters, Ayesha from She (to which it serves as a prequel), and Allan Quatermain from King Solomon's Mines.

Über Henry Rider Haggard

Henry Rider Haggard (1856 – 1925) trat 1875 in den britischen Kolonialdienst in Südafrika. Dort machte er sich mit der Zulu-Kultur vertraut und hatte eine Affäre mit einer afrikanischen Frau, – eine tiefe Beziehung, die seine Darstellung von Frauen beeinflusste und später psychoanalytische Interpretationen seiner Romane nach sich zog. 1881 kehrte Haggard nach England zurück, wo er seine juristischen Examina ablegte und weiter für die Regierung tätig war. Seinen Lebensunterhalt aber verdiente er vor allem als produktiver und erfolgreicher Schriftsteller, dessen Abenteuerromane durch seinen Aufenthalt in Afrika sowie sein Interesse an antiken Kulturen und an allem Okkulten nachhaltig geprägt worden sind.
