Fearless hunter Allan Quatermain, nicknamed Macumazahn, which means "he who watches in the night," never cared for the dampness and primness of his native England, preferring the hot, dusty expanse of the African veldt; he was drawn to the unexplored, perilous lands of the Dark Continent, where people live who are as simple-minded and cruel as all children of nature, where herds of wild buffalo roam and fierce lions roar in the night. This was the life that appealed to Quatermain—the beloved hero of the remarkable writer H. Rider Haggard, who dedicated numerous books to the brave hunter.
This edition includes Haggard's most popular novel in the world, "King Solomon's Mines," as well as novellas and short stories linked by a common hero—Allan Quatermain. The book is illustrated with magnificent graphics by famous artists who were contemporaries of the author.
