. . .I don't know which shrieked the more loudly, the infuriated eagles or their victim.

Seeing how things stood, I burst into a roar of laughter, and just then Scowl grabbed the leg of the male bird, that was planted in his breast while it removed tufts of his wool with its hooked beak, and leapt boldly from the nest, which had become too hot to hold him. The eagle's outspread wings broke his fall, for they acted as a parachute; and so did Umbezi, upon whom he chanced to land. Springing from the prostrate shape of the chief, who now had a bruise in front to match that behind, Scowl, covered with pecks and scratches, ran like a lamp-lighter, leaving me to collect my second gun, which he had dropped at the bottom of the tree, but fortunately without injuring it.

প্রথম খসরু চৌধুরীর অনুবাদে হ্যাগার্ডের 'অ্যালান কোয়াটারমেইন' পড়ি৷ বেশ ভালো লেগেছিল সেটা। এরপর লেখকের 'কুইন অব দ্যা ডন, মর্নিং স্টার, ক্লিওপেট্রা' ইত্যাদিও পড়েছি। কিন্তু কোনো বইই আর প্রথমবারের মতো তেমন মনে ধরেনি। এ বছর জুলু ট্রিলজির প্রথম বই 'মেরি' শেষ করেছি এক প্রকার জোর করে। সেদিক দিয়ে ট্রিলজির

This is my third Sir Henry Rider Haggard novel this year which I intended as a dedication to reading several of the 60-plus Haggard works I own.

হ্যানরি রাইডার হ্যাগার্ড মানেই এক অন্যরকম কিছু বা বিশেষ কোনো আকর্ষণ। তার প্রতিটি রচনা নানা ভাবে পাঠক হৃদয়কে আকৃষ্ট করেছে | ঠিক তেমনই সাম্প্রতিক সময়ে আমার পড়া তার আরো একটি বিশেষ গ্রন্থ হচ্ছে "চাইল্ড অভ স্টর্ম"| এ বইটির এক আলাদা বিশেষত্ব আছে আর তা হলো প্রথমে বইটি ড়লে মনে হবে যে এটি কোনো একটি শিকার

তিনি এমন এক লেখক যার কোনো গল্পই এক মুহুর্তের জন্যও বোরিং লাগেনি।

I hate to say it, but Child of Storm, while good, might might have been great if Allan Quatermain hadn't appeared as a character. The story, with its mix of politics, warfare and sex is excellent but would have been better served if it had been told through the perspective of the Zulus, in the manne

#6 in the Allan Quatermain adventure series. Another tale of a series of African adventures by Quatermain filled with dangerous near death situations and pitched battles. This is modeled somewhat after the Helen of Tray Greek saga. Adventurer Allan Quatermain helps his Zulu friend Saduko win 100 cat
