King Solomon's Mines (Great Illustrated Classics)

King Solomon's Mines (Great Illustrated Classics)

Touted by its 1885 publisher as â‚¬Å“the most amazing story ever written,â‚¬ÂÂ King Solomonâ‚¬s MinesÂ 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,Â King Solomonâ‚¬s MinesÂ â‚¬Å“brings 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‚¬Â
