To be fair, I love the character Allan Quatermain, and all of his African adventures. I find Haggard's writing to be filled with suspenseful situations that awaken the big game hunter spirit for adventure in most men.

This is the perfect turn of the century action novel: Arabic slavers, wild animals, an unarmed excursion to the land of Pongo, a monsterous ape demon, a cannabalistic tribe of natives, damsels in distress, and a closing battle between a village and 400 villains! If you're a fan of Indiana Jones you

Allan Quatermain is a colonial era white adventurer. He is not a modern character set in colonial times the author H Rider Haggard was writing in colonial era, around the same time Rudyard Kipling wrote "White Man's Burden." Quatermain novels are always page-turning action books with crocodiles, mon
This is one of the 14 books that H. Rider Haggard wrote (starting with "King Solomon's Mines") depicting the adventures of Allan Quatermain, great English hunter in the wilds of mysterious Africa. I was a little worried when I started this book, as it took around 1 1/2 whole pages to get going, but
