It is a curious thing that at my age—fifty-five last birthday—I should find myself taking up a pen to try to write a history. I wonder what sort of a history it will be when I have finished it, if ever I come to the end of the trip! I have done a good many things in my life, which seems a long one to me, owing to my having begun work so young, perhaps. At an age when other boys are at school I was earning my living as a trader in the old Colony.
H. Rider Haggard's 1885 adventure classic that essentially invented the "lost world" genre. Big-game hunter Allan Quatermain leads an expedition of English gentlemen deep into uncharted southern Africa in search of a missing man and the legendary diamond mines of King Solomon. Along the way they cross deserts, scale mountains shaped like a sleeping giant, and become entangled in the court intrigue of the hidden kingdom of Kukuanaland. An enormous bestseller in its day, it remains one of the most influential adventure novels ever written.
