After the tragic death of his son, Allan Quatermain's grief is
inconsolable. Feeling that the only possible way to ease his pain
is through an expedition, Quatermain seeks out Captain Good, Sir
Henry Curtis, and the Zulu chief Umslopogaas, who all previously
journeyed with him to King Solomon's Mine. After explaining his
predicament, Quatermain persuades them to accompany him on one last
journey-a search mission to find a lost city. Together they set out
to expedition through unexplored land, setting out from the East
African coast into a territory inhabited by a group called the
Maasai. Unfortunately, they are not welcomed into this land. While
boarding with a Scottish missionary, Mr. Mackenzie, a man from the
Maasai group kidnaps Mr. Mackenzie's daughter. After the man
demands the death of one of the explorers as ransom, Curtis,
Umslopogaas, Captain Good, and Quatermain decide to ambush the
Maasai village in attempts to rescue Mr. Mackenzie's daughter. As
they continue their journey, they must travel through unfamiliar
and dangerous land and battle native groups. However, when they
finally find the lost civilization they were searching for, the men
are surprised when a love triangle emerges and creates more chaos
than they have ever faced during their adventures. Described as a
fun and exciting read from start to finish, H. Rider Haggard's
Allan Quatermain is a thrilling example of 19th century adventure
fiction. Written by an innovator of the genre, Allan Quatermain
depicts an exhilarating expedition that keeps even modern readers
entertained with drama, wonder, and romance. Continuing the
camaraderie and adventure of its predecessor, Allan Quatermain
features descriptive and immersive prose with vivid imagery and
imagination. This edition of Allan Quatermain by H. Rider Haggard
features a new, eye-catching cover design and is printed in a font
that is both modern and readable. With these accommodations, Allan
Quatermain caters to a contemporary audience while preserving the
original innovation and adventure of H. Rider Haggard's work.
