She (Ayesha) Kindle Edition

by H. Rider Haggard (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.9 out of 5 stars 320 ratings
H. Rider Haggard’s classic tale of fantasy and adventure set in a lost world ruled by a two-thousand-year-old queen
On the occasion of his twenty-fifth birthday, Leo Vincey opens the locked iron box that is his birthright and finds an ancient potsherd. Following clues engraved on the relic, Vincey and the man who raised him, Cambridge professor Horace Holly, embark on a remarkable adventure that will take them from Victorian England to an uncharted region in East Africa. Surviving shipwreck, disease, and hostile natives, they discover a lost civilization no European has ever encountered—or lived to describe. They have entered the realm of the cruel and beautiful Ayesha, known to those who worship her as “She-who-must-be-obeyed.” For two thousand years, the white queen has been waiting—for what, Vincey and Holly are about to find out.
One of the bestselling novels of all time, She has held readers in its thrall for more than a century. Alongside Haggard’s other classic, King Solomon’s Mines, it established the conventions of the lost world fantasy genre, and has inspired some of our greatest thinkers and writers, from Sigmund Freud to J. R. R. Tolkien to Margaret Atwood.
This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

Product description

About the Author

H. Rider Haggard was born on 22 June, 1856 in Braden ham, situated in the English area of Norfolk. His father, Sir William Meybohm Rider Haggard, was a lawyer, while his mother, Ella Dove ton Haggard, was an author herself. The couple had ten children, out of which Henry was conceived as the eighth. Sir Henry Rider Haggard was an English author who was known for his African thriller novel, 'Lord Solomon's Mines'. His father was a Norfolk advocate but he was denied an honourable men's schooling compared to his siblings due to his physical bluntness. At 19 years old, he started his vocation at the command of his father as an unpaid guide to Lieutenant-Governor of the Colony of Natal. Rider Haggard was married to a Norfolk beneficiary Marianna Louisa Margitson. They had four children named Jack, who died at the age of 10 due to measles, and three girls named Angela, Dorothy, and Lilias. Rider Haggard died at the age of 68 in London. His remains were cremated at St Mary's Church, Ditchingham. A rail route point of the Canadian National Railway in British Columbia has been named after him.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Explorer era adventure with supernatural elements.

    Since this book was written 100 years before I was born, I forgive its outdated and very rigid social expectations of love, sexuality and moral social behaviour.

    Taken as a story from its own context, it is an interesting inspection of the human condition and a well written story that sweeps you away into another world that only vaguely resembles real parts of Africa.

    Formato quaderno, immensi spazi vuoti fra un capoverso e l'altro, a fatica leggibile. Prezzo basso, ma qualità pure bassa.

    Loved this book right from the opening chapter
    The reader must take in to account that this book was written in a time when most of the western world had only heard about wild African beasts and villagers.. never seeing one...
