Author

H. Rider Haggard (1856–1925) gave English literature its great African quest novels — stories of treasure, immortality, and the lure of the unknown that helped invent popular adventure as a global form. King Solomon's Mines turned a hunt for diamonds into a myth of courage and discovery; She made the lost city of Kôr a stage for desire, power, and the terror of living forever.
