Autorenporträt
H. Rider Haggard, born Henry Rider Haggard on June 22, 1856, in Bradenham, Norfolk, England, was an English writer chiefly remembered for his adventure novels set in exotic locations. Haggard's stories continue to capture readers with their spirited ethos and vivid imagery. He attended Ipswich Grammar School and later went to South Africa to work in the British civil service. His experiences there fed his imaginative prowess, eventually culminating in the creation of his most famous work, 'King Solomon's Mines' (1885), which introduced the character Allan Quatermain, an archetype of the adventure hero genre. Haggard's influence on literary escapism and the development of the 'lost world' subgenre is profound, with 'She' (1887) further cementing his reputation as an author of thrilling tales imbued with historical and mythical elements. 'Pearl-Maiden: A Tale of the Fall of Jerusalem' (1903) showcases Haggard's interest in ancient civilizations and his ability to weave historical detail into his fiction. The book is set during the siege of Jerusalem by the Romans and follows the story of a young Christian woman facing tumultuous events and moral challenges. Haggard's literary style is often marked by a mix of adventure, romance, and supernaturalism, engaging readers in times and realms beyond their own. Despite criticism over occasional lapses in historical accuracy, Haggard remains a seminal figure in adventure and fantasy literature. He died on May 14, 1925, in London, leaving behind a legacy that continues to be explored and enjoyed by readers and scholars alike.
