Об авторе

Sir Henry Rider Haggard KBE (1856–1925) was an English writer of adventure fiction, and a pioneer of the Lost World literary genre. Born in Bradenham, Norfolk, Haggard developed a fascination with the unknown territories of the Empire, hewn from his own experiences in South Africa as a young colonial administrator. In a literary career spanning over forty years, Haggard published numerous novels with richly woven narratives, including his most celebrated works ‘King Solomon’s Mines’ (1885) and ‘She: A History of Adventure’ (1887). His storytelling prowess blended vivid descriptions of the African landscape with exciting narratives of exploration, mysticism, and imperial romanticism, capturing the zeitgeist of Victorian-era Britain’s fascination with colonial exploits. Although lesser-known, ‘The Greatest Adventure Books of All Time — Henry Rider Haggard Collection’ encompasses a range of his significant works, allowing modern readers to delve into the depths of classic adventure tales that have inspired generations. Haggard’s influence extends beyond literature; his creative explorations inspired future writers and shaped the contours of popular fiction in the 20th century. Haggard was not just a storyteller; he was also an avid student of agricultural reforms and a proponent of social improvements, both of which are occasionally reflected in his fiction, presenting a nuanced portrayal of the human condition amid the drama of the unknown.
