Descriere completă

The master story teller's view of the Ancient World Rider Haggard is one of the most famous authors of adventure fiction in the English language. Almost everyone has heard of Allan Quatermain-the hero of King Solomon's Mines-and the beautiful, ruthless, magically immortal Ayesha-She 'who must be obeyed.' All of Haggard's novels and stories featuring both characters are available in handsome Leonaur editions. Haggard was a prolific writer so it is not surprising that only a few of his titles are widely known-and read-by an audience which would enjoy them all. The essential elements of his most famous creations-the great African continent and ancient civilisations, mysterious and exotic, mythical, imagined or real, are combined in a number of his novels and stories and these too have now been collected by Leonaur into a special four volume set-African Adventures. Readers will therefore be unsurprised to learn that Haggard could not resist writing a number of tales about ancient civilisations, or that in these he naturally gravitated towards the most evocative of them all-the world of the Ancient Egyptians and the other peoples of the Mediterranean and the Middle East. This is a stunning body of fiction which Leonaur has gathered together into a four volume set-each successive volume following a chronological time-line along the sweeping march of history. In this first volume of Adventures in the Ancient World, Haggard has set his stage almost as far back in recorded civilisation as possible. Queen of the Dawn, the first novel, is set in Egypt one thousand eight hundred years before the time of Christ in the time of the Shepherd King Apepi. The second novel, Moon of Israel, is also set in Egypt-in the 13th Century BC at the time of Pharaoh Amenmeses-and centres around the Biblical Exodus. Available in softcover and hardcover with dust jacket for collectors.
