Synopsis

The Wizard is a novel written by H. Rider Haggard, first published in 1896. The story is set in the fictional African kingdom of ""Kukuanaland"" and follows the adventures of the Englishman, Ignosi, who is the rightful heir to the throne. Ignosi is aided by Allan Quatermain, a famous explorer and adventurer, and his companions as they try to overthrow the tyrannical ruler, Twala, and restore Ignosi to his rightful place as king.The novel is filled with adventure, action, and suspense as the group faces dangerous obstacles and battles against the forces of evil. Along the way, they encounter a powerful wizard who possesses magical abilities and a mysterious past.The Wizard is a classic adventure novel that showcases Haggard's vivid imagination and storytelling skills. It is a thrilling read that will keep readers engaged from beginning to end.All that day we explained and all the next--or rather my friend did, for I knew very little of the language --and they listened with great interest. At last the chief of the wizards and the first prophet to the king rose to question us. He was named Hokosa, a tall, thin man, with a spiritual face and terrible calm eyes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
