Book Excerpt: 
. . .I will be open with you. I do not know if I love this woman, who, as you say, is a stranger to me, but it is true that my heart turns towards her like flowers to the sun. Till to-day I had never seen her, yet when my eyes first fell upon her face yonder in that accursed grove, it seemed to me that I had been born only that I might find her. It seemed to me even that for ages I had known her, that for ever she was mine and that I was hers. Read me the riddle, Issachar? Is this but passion born of youth and the sudden sight of a fair woman? That cannot be, for I have known others as fair, and have passed through some such fires. Tell me, Issachar, you who are old and wise and have seen much of the hearts of men, what is this wave that overwhelms me?"

"What is it, Prince? It is witchery; it is the wile of Beelzebub waiting to snatch your soul, and if you hearken to it you shall pass through the fire—through the fire to Moloch, if not in the flesh, then in th. . . Read More

If you can deal with the way 19th century Englishmen took for granted white supremacy, male supremacy, and Judeo-Christian supremacy, then this is a perfectly fine little adventure tale set in ancient Zimbabwe.

When Haggard wrote the book, historians didn't yet know that the ruined city of Great Zim

This is the another masterpiece of Henry Rider Haggard. Really liked the storyline.

গল্পটা তিন হাজার বছর আগের। ইজরায়েলের রাজপুত্র এযিয়েল ভালোবেসে ফেলে যিম্বো শহরের এক মূর্তিপূজারিণী এলিসাকে। তাদের প্রেমে বাঁধা হয়ে আসে উপজাতি রাজপুত্র ইথোবাল, এলিসার বাবা স্যাকোন, এযিয়েলের সফরসঙ্গী নবী ইসাচার ও ধূর্ত ব্যবসায়ী মেটেম। ধর্ম ও ভালোবাসার দ্বন্দ্বে শেষ পর্যন্ত কে জয়ী হয়েছিল তা জানতে

Прошлое настолько непонятно, что трактовать его можно на угодный писателю лад. Например, какие исторические процессы происходили в Африке? Не десять веков назад, а за две-три тысячи лет до того? И не на севере континента, а на юге, либо в центральных областях. Хаггард знал о существовании таинственн

তিন হাজার বছর আগের এই কাহিনীর মূলে রয়েছে ধর্ম বনাম ভালোবাসা। ইজরায়েলের ইহুদি পুত্র এযিয়েল ভালোবেসে ফেলে মূর্তিপূজারিণী তরুণী এলিসাকে। কিন্তু দুই জনের ধর্ম বিশ্বাস সম্পূর্ণ আলাদা। ধর্মের বাঁধ ভেঙ্গে তাঁরা কি কাছে আসতে পেরেছিল? নিয়তি কোন পথে নিয়ে তাদের। এমনই এক কাহিনী নিয়ে এ গল্প।

Another Haggard lost-world myth in which Prince Aziel, grandson of Solomon himself, goes to Zimbabwe (then called Zimboe) and chances to meet the soul mate of his life: Elissa, daughter of Sakon, the governor of the city. As Haggard would have us believe, it is this doomed love affair that brings de

In this fast-moving novel, we meet Prince Aziel, grandson of Solomon himself, who goes to Zimbabwe (then called Zimboe) and chances to meet the soul mate of his life: Elissa, daughter of Sakon, the governor of the city.
The two instantly develop what I suppose must be called the mutual irresistibles
