H. Rider Haggard: Allan Quatermain, Gebunden

Klappentext

Before Indiana Jones, there was Allan Quatermain: the original explorer-adventurer, hunter, wanderer, and witness to lost worlds, imperial conflicts, dangerous quests, and strange powers beyond ordinary explanation. This volume gathers H. Rider Haggard's Zulu Trilogy: Marie, Child of Storm, and Finished. Together these novels form one of the most dramatic arcs in the Allan Quatermain saga, following Quatermain through love, war, political intrigue, prophecy, and the violent struggles surrounding the Zulu kingdom. At the center of the trilogy stands Zikali, the feared and brilliant Zulu wizard, whose long memory and patient hunger for revenge draw kings, warriors, lovers, and adventurers into a destiny none of them can fully control. Haggard combines historical adventure with supernatural menace, frontier romance, and large-scale tragedy. These are tales of courage and obsession, loyalty and betrayal, colonial encounter and Zulu power, with Quatermain serving as both participant and uneasy witness. Darker and more brooding than simple adventure fiction, the trilogy moves from personal romance to national catastrophe, from private vendetta to the fall of a kingdom. For readers of classic adventure, lost-world fiction, historical romance, and imperial-era storytelling, Allan Quatermain - The Zulu Trilogy offers Haggard at his most expansive, dramatic, and haunting.
