Présentation de l'éditeur
The Diamond Mines of South Africa CHAPTER I THE ANCIENT ADAMAS the beginning of the last century, when the blinded Shah-Shuja sought refuge in the lair of the Lion of Punjaub, Runjeet Singh, his chief treasure was the crystal pebble which Nadir Shah had snatched from the head of the last of the Great Moguls. For the sake of the pebble, Runjeet starved the wife and children of his friend until he was driven to lay the Koh-i-nur at the feet of his host. At what price do you value it? said the Lion, showing his teeth in a grim smile. At good luck, replied the blind Shah, for it has ever been the bosom companion of him who has triumphed over his enemies. It may have been the traditional talisman of Carna, Rajah of Anga, fighting in legendary wars, hundreds of years before the great Achilles stormed and sulked under the walls of Troy. From its earliest known appearance it had been so coveted that agas and sultans and rajahs and shahs had snatched it in the first spoils of victory. About the Publisher.
