O autorze
Sir Henry Rider Haggard (1856–1925) was an English writer, predominantly of adventure fiction, who has been regarded as a master of the lost world literary genre. Born in Bradenham, Norfolk, Haggard’s encounters with diverse cultures during his time in the British civil service in South Africa influenced much of his writing. He is best known for his novel 'King Solomon’s Mines’ (1885), which initiated his most famous character Allan Quatermain, an enduring symbol of colonial exploration and adventure. This book, along with 'She: A History of Adventure’ (1887), cemented Haggard’s place in the literary universe, creating narratives rich in colonial discourse and exotic escapism. His works often reflect the contrasts and conflicts between the civilized European world and the untamed African landscapes. Haggard’s extensive bibliography, which is encapsulated in collections such as 'The Ultimate H. Rider Haggard Collection’, showcases his adept storytelling and his knack for infusing his narratives with mythological and historical references. Not only did he produce gripping tales that captured the imaginations of readers, but Haggard also commented on contemporary British imperial attitudes and the complexities of the human spirit confronted by the vast unknown. His impact on the adventure and fantasy genres is enduring, having influenced a host of authors and filmmakers who followed in his adventurous literary footsteps.
