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.
