Book Excerpt: 
. . .I retired up the hill where the woman pulled the spear out and gave it to another man. I remember no more.

Then followed a whole maze of visions, but really I cannot disentangle them. Nor is it worth while doing so since after all they were only of the nature of an overture, jumbled incidents of former lives, real or imaginary, or so I suppose, having to do, all of them, with elementary things, such as hunger and wounds and women and death.

At length these broken fragments of the past were swept away out of my consciousness and I found myself face to face with something connected and tangible, not too remote or unfamiliar for understanding. It was the beginning of the real story.

I, please remember always that I knew it was I, Allan, and no one else, that is, the same personality or whatever it may be which makes each man different from any other man, saw myself in a chariot drawn by two horses with arched necks and driven by a charioteer . . . Read More

Another tale of one of our earliest heroes. The language used, the style of writing, the tale itself all bring about to tell you of a time gone by. The author was often criticised for his friendship and admiration of the black races. Reading this book these days it shows how far we have come but als

This is the conclusion of a set of three Allan Quatermain stories: Allan and the Holy Fower, The Ivory Child, and finally The Ancient Allan. In it Allan recounts a previous life while under the influence of a drug. There are many little nuances that readers will like. I loved the fact that Allan's H

হ্যাগার্ডের অন্যান্য বইয়ের মতই এই বইটাও দারুণ ছিলো ফুয়াদ ভাইয়ের অনুবাদে। এই বইটা অনেক আগে পড়া, মাত্রই দি আইভরি চাইল্ড পড়া হল, এবং শুরুটা বুঝতে পারলাম। হ্যাগার্ডের প্রতিটা বই এত ভালো লাগে।♥️

Be sure to read The Ivory Child before this story. I enjoyed this story thoroughly and found it one of the Author's best. Good plot. Good characters with very good development. A clever story with in a story it ended well but all too soon.

Задумался Хаггард о вечном. Сколько бы не возрождал он к жизни почившего тридцать три года назад Аллана, согласно написания второй книги цикла. Но всё не может успокоиться, позволяя Квотермейну участвовать в событиях, в которых его участие практически не требовалось. Например, для какой цели понадоб

In this book, one of the 14 that H. Rider Haggard wrote that treats of the adventures of Allan Quatermain, our hero--through the use of the inhaled Taduki drug--views one of his previous incarnations. During that lifetime he was Shabaka, in the age when Egypt had been conquered by the Persians. This

#10 in the Allan Quatermain, African adventurer, series. This is the 3rd in a series following Allan's adventures recounted in The Ivory Child. A few years later, Allan encounters Lady Ragnall, now a widow, and who are still attracted to each other seemingly without reason. Using the smoke of an anc

We start off in the 1890's with Allan Quartermain visiting a lady friend and then essentially Quartermain tells us an adventure tale of one of his ancestors. There's some weird stuff involved which i won't spoil but thats the gist. This whole setup is by far the most entertaining part. Witty, intere
