King Solomon's Mines: Complete and Unabridged (Puffin Classics)

Touted by its 1885 publisher as â€œthe most amazing story ever written,â€ King Solomonâ€™s Mines was one of the bestselling novels of the nineteenth century. H. Rider Haggardâ€™s thrilling saga of elephant hunter Allan Quatermain and his search for fabled treasure is more than just an adventure story, though: As Alexandra Fuller explains in her Introduction, in its vivid portrayal of the alliances and battles of white colonials and African tribesmen, King Solomonâ€™s Mines â€œbrings us the world of extremes, of the absurdly tall tales and of the illogical loyalty between disparate people that still informs this part of the world.â€
