Description

Sir Henry Curtis and his friend Captain Good meet the adventurer Allan Quatermain to help them find Sir Henry s brother who has gone missing in his quest for legendry King Solomon s Mines in the north of Africa. Having set the terms, the trio leaves with their crew on a treacherous journey during which they will navigate dangerous lands, encounter tribal conflicts, face deadly foes and see death in its most hideous forms. All this will mean nothing in the end if they attain their desired goal. A masterful blend of adventure, mystery and exploration, King Solomon s Mines was an instant bestseller when it was first published in the UK in 1885. Haggard s intricate narrative explores the limits of human endurance, the allure of hidden treasures, and the bonds forged in the crucible of adversity. King Solomon s Mines is a timeless tale that transcends generations, inviting readers to embark on a thrilling expedition into the heart of uncharted territories.
