And he is about to embark on the most dangerous hunt of his career.His new employers, Sir Henry Curtis and Captain john Good, have a map--drawn by a dying Portuguese prospector. It reveals a route across the great desert, past a fearsome range of mountain, to the greatest treasure in all Africa--the lost diamond mines of King Solomon himself!Inspired by true adventures, King Solomon's Mines is the unsurpassed classic of a journey into the unknown heart of the Dark Continent.

Renowned safari hunter Allan Quartermain agrees to help Sir Henry Curtis and Captain John Good search for King Solomon's legendary cache of diamonds. Eager to learn what is true, what is myth, and what is really buried in the darkness of the mines, the adventurers discover--and are captured by--a lost tribe of African warriors. They eventually escape, but what they seek could be the most dangerous trap of all-King Solomon's Mines.

No man had survived the search for the fantastic treasure beyond Africa's Solomon Mountains. The blazing desert had claimed Jose Silvestre; then Khiva had died, horribly, and now Ventvogel lay frozen in a cave on the mountain's ridge. Yet Allan Quatermain would cross those awesome peaks -- into a land more amazing than the treasure itself. H. Rider Haggard's KING SOLOMON'S MINES is an adventure story that, since its first publication in 1885, has thrilled both young readers and adults alike. Quatermain's quest--for a legendary hoard that for three centuries had tormented men's dreams -- instantly captures the imagination, and the action that follows is almost unbearably exciting. But, too, Haggard grounded his tale in his first-hand knowledge of Africa, which, particularly in his account of the fierce King Twala and the sorceress Gagool, made credible and gripping a plot that might have otherwise seemed overly exotic. KINGS SOLOMON'S MINES has been read by millions and filmed. It remains an example of the adventure novel at its best and an enthralling portrait of once "dark and mysterious" Africa.
