H. Rider Haggard
King Solomon's Mines
Mass Market Paperback
(Magnum Books Jan. 1, 1968)
, First Edition
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.
