Über den Autor
H. Rider Haggard(1856-1925) was an English writer whose tales of high adventure won him popularity around the world. Although his first two novels were commercial failures, Haggard found success with his third. Considered the first English adventure novel set in Africa, King Solomon's Mines(1885) was an immediate bestseller and is now regarded as an influential forerunner of the lost world genre of literature. H. Rider Haggard published dozens of novels and stories, in the process influencing such writers as Rudyard Kipling, Arthur Conan Doyle, Edgar Rice Burroughs, and H.P. Lovecraft.
