A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Henry Rider Haggard was born on June 22, 1856, in Bradenham, Norfolk, England, the eighth of ten children. His father was a barrister and his mother was an author and poet. Although his brothers all attended private schools, his father, figuring he would never amount to anything, sent him to a public elementary school. Later, he failed the entrance exam to the army. In 1875, his father sent him to South Africa to take an unpaid job. It was here, that Haggard raised the British flag and read the proclamation that Britain was annexing the Boer Republic of the Transvaal. He also fell in love, but his father forbid him to marry. Upon returning to England in 1880, he married Mariana Louisa Margitson, a friend of his sister. They had four children, one of whom also became an author. While there, he also studied law, beginning a practice in 1884. Haggard preferred writing however, writing “King Solomon’s Mines,” the first of the 18 Allan Quatermain series in 1885. He died on May 14, 1925, at the age of 68, in London.
