    Extractions: Rider Haggard: King of the Exotic Adventure Story H. (Henry) Rider Haggard (1856-1925), along with Robert Louis Stevenson, and to a lesser extent R.M.Ballantyne, G.A.Henty, and some others, pretty much established the "Adventure Novel" over a hundred years ago. Everything since, from JRR Tolkien to David Drake, John Buchan to Ian Fleming, Edgar Rice Burroughs to Orson Scott Card, etc. (odd analogies on my part, but think about it...) has been influenced by this when a novel in whatever field of fantasy, science fiction, or the 'real life' of spying in exotic places has required a template. Haggard really was a true talent, and still bears up after all these years. I have just finished King Solomon's Mines for the fifth or sixth time since first reading it at age 12 or so. And I can say it actually seems BETTER now than it did when I was in my 20's and 30's (I am now Allan Quatermain's age at the time he wrote up his adventures), although not striking with the great impact it did on first exposure. It is, first of all, a Ripping Yarn (like Star Wars), with lots of blood and gore and heroic adventure, and very little romantic distraction by extraneous love affairs with damsels in distress i.e. a great boys' book with a lot of violence (heads cut off, someone torn in half by an elephant, etc., coo-ul), triumph over extreme hardships, the treasure to be won at the end of the quest, really nasty bad people, and lots of bare-boobed girls à la National Geographic. Second, it is well-written, if carelessly (e.g., crescent moons do not rise at sunset or rise at 10 PM the next night in the full state) descriptions are crisp and vivid, characters are clearly delineated although very archetypically as in a fairy tale or Knights of the Round Table story, there are some very funny comic relief scenes just at the right time, the language is not at all high flown or prosy... This book is a model on how to write such a book, if you will forgive me putting it that way.

    Extractions: Ritornato nel 1881 a Londra, sposa Mariana Louisa Margitson, una ricca ereditiera. La coppia vive inizialmente nel Transvaal, dove Haggard possedeva un allevamento di struzzi, ma quando la colonia viene ceduta dagli inglesi agli olandesi i due fanno ritorno in patria. Qui l'autore esercita per qualche anno la professione legale e, nel 1884 pubblica il suo primo romanzo fantastico, Dawn King Salomon's Mines , romanzo nato inizialmente per semplice scommessa: Haggard si era infatti impegnato con un amico a scrivere un libro che superasse il modello di R.L. Stevenson di Treasure Island Allan Quatermain King Salomon's Mines - dedica infatti ben quindici volumi tra romanzi e racconti, e nel 1887 scrive il celeberrimo She col quale apre un ciclo narrativo dedicato al personaggio di Ayesha

    Extractions: A runaway bestseller on its publication in 1887, H. Rider Haggard's She is a Victorian thrill ride of a novel, featuring a lost African kingdom ruled by a mysterious, implacable queen; ferocious wildlife and yawning abysses; and an eerie love story that spans two thousand years. She has bewitched readers from Freud and Jung to C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien; in her Introduction to this Modern Library Paperback Classic which includes period illustrations by Maurice Greiffenhagen and Charles H. M. Kerr Margaret Atwood asserts that the awe-inspiring Ayesha, "She-who-must-be-obeyed," is "a permanent feature of the human imagination." For two thousand endless years, She had maintained her vigil. She, whose supernal powers could have made emperors her slaves, was only the Witch Queen of the debased and savage Amahagger. Her awesome beauty was veiled from the world in the isolated African valley of Kôr. She waited. For in Kôr lay the mummified body of her lost lover, Kallikrates - killed by her hand when he turned to other women - and She was doomed to tarry until he should come again in mortal flesh.

    Extractions: An often repeated anecdote has it that King Solomon's Mines was written on a bet: H. Rider Haggard claimed, and his brother doubted, that he could write a better and more successful adventure story than Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. Hence King Solomon's Mines was written, published, and became a phenomenon in 1885. Born into the large family of a country gentleman, Haggard was a colonial administrator in South Africa during the Zulu War of 1879 and the first Boer War of 1880. He drew on his experience in Africa to write King Solomon's Mines, a story, like Treasure Island, of maps, buried treasure, villainy, and English pluck. In South Africa, Haggard developed an appreciation for African cultures and rituals. While such appreciation is evident in King Solomon's Mines and its 1887 sequel, Allan Quatermain, also apparent is Haggard's subscription to Victorian ideas of European superiority (Haggard's other well-known novel is She

He first traveled to Natal in 1875, as secretary to the colonial Governor Bulwer. In 1878 he became Registrar of the High Court in the Transvaal, in the region that was to become South Africa . During his time there he was exposed to the Zulu culture, and is said to have had an long-lasting affair with an African woman.
