Produktbeschreibung
The fourth and final volume of Haggard's gripping collected tales of the 'Dark Continent' Rider Haggard's affection for and affinity with the 'Dark Continent' is well known. His adventures featuring Allan Quatermain-the little white hunter, trader and explorer are justly famous and appear as a collected set in their entirety from Leonaur. For some that generous helping of African adventures simply will not be sufficient. Although Haggard was a prolific author not all of his material is familiar or available to those who would enjoy it. Leonaur has gathered together Haggard's 'other' adventures set in Africa into one collection of four books available in soft cover and hard cover with dust jacket for collectors. Volume four of Leonaur's collection of Haggard's African stories concludes the series in fine and satisfying style. The first of the two novels here is 'The Ghost Kings'. Those familiar with the Quatermain stories will recognise a familiar theme that always delivers a good tale. A 'White Priestess' has arisen in the Zulu nation and intrigue and violence must surely follow. This volume concludes explosively with the novel, 'The Yellow Idol', an exciting adventure with all the ingredients Haggard enthusiasts love. Our heroes venture into the hostile desert, but beneath its sands lies an unknown and hidden city and its strange and mysterious people. This great yarn concludes Leonaur's special collection of eight novels and a novelette in four coordinating volumes that Haggard enthusiasts will want to keep forever.

Autorenporträt
Born in 1856 in Bradenham, Norfolk, England, Henry Rider Haggard was the eighth of ten children in a family with literary interests; his mother, Ella Doveton, was a poet and author. At 19, he ventured to southern Africa as secretary to the governor of Natal, Sir Henry Bulwer, immersing himself in the continent's landscapes and cultures. This experience profoundly influenced his later writings.Returning to England in 1882, Haggard pursued law but soon turned to literature, achieving fame with King Solomon's Mines in 1885. This novel introduced Allan Quatermain, a character who would feature in numerous subsequent works. Haggard's storytelling captivated readers with tales of adventure set in exotic locales.Beyond fiction, Haggard engaged in agricultural reform and land use issues, reflecting his diverse interests. Knighted in 1912 and appointed a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1919, he was recognized for his contributions to literature and public service. Haggard passed away in 1925, leaving a legacy that continues to influence adventure literature.
