Про автора
Sir Henry Rider Haggard (1856–1925) was an English writer of adventure fiction, who achieved great acclaim during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in Bradenham, Norfolk, Haggard’s career as an author began after varied experiences as a young man in British colonial Africa, particularly in South Africa, where he found inspiration among the Zulu people and the continent’s vast wilderness. His deep fascination with history, myth, and his exposure to diverse cultures shaped his unique literary style, which interweaves rich descriptions of the natural world with historical romance and elements of the supernatural. Haggard is best known for his creation of the iconic character Allan Quatermain, the hero of ‘King Solomon’s Mines'(1885), and the subsequent series that chronicled his adventures. His work went on to influence generations of future writers, notably those contributing to the Lost World genre. Haggard’s prolific output included not just the Quatermain novels but also other significant works such as ‘She: A History of Adventure’ (1887), achieving both commercial success and critical recognition in his time. His narratives often tackled themes of civilization versus the primitive, the role of fate and the supernatural in human life, and the clash of cultural values. Haggard’s extensive collection of over 60 works, compiled posthumously, testifies to his status as a literary figure who carved out new paths in the adventure novel genre and has continued to inspire the imagination of readers worldwide.
