These matters settled, they went into the little camp, and a sentry having been set, for now the night was falling fast, Ishmael was introduced to Mrs. Dove, who looked him up and down and said little, after which they began their supper. When their simple meal was finished, Ishmael lit his pipe and sat himself upon the disselboom of the waggon, looking extremely handsome and picturesque in the flare of the firelight which fell upon his dark face, long black hair and curious garments, for although he had replaced his lion-skin by an old coat, his zebra-hide trousers and waistcoat made of an otter's pelt still remained. Contemplating him, Rachel felt sure that whatever his present and past might be, he had spoken the truth when he hinted that he was well-born. Indeed, this might be gathered from his voice and method of expressing himself when he grew more at ease, although it was true that sometimes he substituted a Zulu for an English. . . Read More

Dedicated to my grandfather Alfonso Velasco Fernández.
Ladies and gentlemen taking advantage of the hours before still sleep make the most of them, and I think the best way is to write another review.
Henry Rider Haggard is a writer with history. Since he was one of my paternal grandfather's favorite
অ্যাডভেঞ্চার এবং ফ্যান্টাসির সমন্বয়ে হেনরি রাইডার হ্যাগার্ডের লেখা অনবদ্য একটি বই পড়লাম, যারা লেখকের বই পড়েছেন তারা জানেন কয়েকটা ঘরানার মিশ্রণ থাকে উনার বইয়ে৷ লেখকের অন্যান্য বইগুলোও যেমন ভালো লাগে, এই বইটাও তার ব্যতিক্রম নয়। অ্যাডভেঞ্চার, রোমাঞ্চ, ফ্যান্টাসি, লোভ, অভিশাপ, ক্ষমতার লড়াই, অলৌকি
Undoubtly this book is dated.
Haggard wrote this in 1908. There are some interesting themes in here which are not too unexpected. Pretty much none of the non-white characters are active. The lead "black" character is actually half black and half white. The main lead is a white female who treats every

"The Ghost Kings" was H. Rider Haggard's 32nd novel, out of an eventual 58. Written during the years 1906 and '07, it first saw book publication in September 1908. This novel was penned immediately before Haggard set to work on another African adventure tale, "The Yellow God," but of the two, "The G
As with other Haggard books, The Ghost Kings was a page-turner for me. Although there was some suspended belief going on, other story elements were enlightening. Rachel is a missionary's daughter and she becomes a kind of friendly hostage with a Zulu tribe. She has the extreme belief that her father
I really enjoyed this - it was full of Haggard-y goodness. It is a story of heroic proportions with Rachel Dove mistaken for a white goddess by the Zulu people. They'd like her to stay with them always, for good fortune. She, luckily, has a fair share of smarts, intuition, and Scottish psychic power
