A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

H. Rider Haggard was an English novelist and one of the defining figures in the development of adventure fiction, lost-world fiction, and imperial-era romance. Born in Norfolk in 1856, Haggard spent formative years in southern Africa, an experience that shaped much of his fiction and supplied the settings, landscapes, conflicts, and imaginative scale for many of his best-known works. His novels combined exploration, danger, ancient mysteries, political unrest, treasure, romance, and the spectacle of remote or hidden worlds.Haggard is best remembered for King Solomon's Mines, She, Allan Quatermain, Nada the Lily, and the broader Allan Quatermain sequence. His work influenced later adventure fiction, pulp fiction, fantasy, jungle adventure, and lost-world narratives, while also preserving the assumptions and tensions of the late Victorian imperial imagination. Haggard remains a major figure for readers interested in classic adventure fiction, nineteenth-century popular literature, African-set fiction, lost civilizations, expedition narratives, and the early roots of modern genre storytelling.
