The People of the Mist
Henry Rider Haggard
Book Overview:
Penniless Leonard Outram attempts to redress the undeserved loss of his family estates and fiancee by seeking his fortune in Africa. In the course of his adventures he and his Zulu companion Otter save a young Portuguese woman, Juanna Rodd, together with her nursemaid Soa, from slavery. Leonard and Juanna are plainly attracted to each other, but prone to bickering, and their romance is impeded by the watchful and jealous Soa. The protagonists seek the legendary People of the Mist, said to possess a fabulous hoard of jewels. Finding them, they immediately become embroiled in the turbulent political affairs of the lost race, which is riven by a power-struggle between the monarch and the priesthood of its giant crocodile god. The heroic Leonard can do little more than react to events. The action climaxes in a hair-raising escape by toboggan (it was a flat stone) down a steep glacier. (Summary by Wikipedia)

The place was peopled by numbers of men in strange costumes, and of different nationalities; dealers in "black ivory" of various degree. Perhaps there may have been more than a hundred of them. Some were strolling about in knots smoking and talking, some were gambling, others were going on their business. One group—captains, to judge from the richness of their attire—were standing round the arms-house and peeping through a grating in the wall, which they reached by sitting upon each other's shoulders. This amusement lasted them for some time, till at length a man, of whom at that distance they could see only that he was old and stout, came and drove them away, and they broke up laughing.
"That is the Yellow Devil," said Otter, "and those men were looking at the maid who is called the Shepherdes. . . Read More

বইটা আমার কাছে দারুণ লেগেছে। হেনরি রাইডার হ্যাগার্ড এর লেখার ফ্যান হলেও সব বই যে সমানভাবে ভালো লেগেছে তা নয়, কিন্তু এই বইটা বেশিই ভালো লেগেছে। শুরু থেকে শেষ পর্যন্ত সমানতালে ভালো লাগার ফ্লো টা বজায় ছিল। অনুবাদকও এজন্য ধন্যবাদ প্রাপ্য কারণ অনেক সাবলীল অনুবাদ করেছেন। লেখকের অন্য কিছু বইয়ে অ্যাড
Страшна книга, написана 1894. Точно в момента имах нужда от приключенска фантасмагория, която се води романтизъм, написана е добре и ме връща 30 години назад, когато бях момче и тези книги ми бяха вселена и огромно забавление.
গল্পটা হতভাগ্য যুবক লিওনার্দো অট্রাম এর। ভাগ্যদেবীর নির্মমতায় ভেস্তে যায় তার প্রথম প্রেম, ভাগ্যদেবী আরাধনায় রত হয় অট্রাম আর ভাই তবে একসময় ভাইও মারা যায়, একা হয়ে পড়ে অট্রাম। ভাগ্যাহত যুবক লিওনার্ড অট্রাম আর অনিন্দ্যসুন্দরী জুয়ানা রডের সঙ্গে বেড়িয়ে পরা যাক অভিযানে। হারানো একটা সভ্যতা খুঁজে
Х. Р. Хагард ми е дарил безброй часове наслада през юношеските години с четената и препрочитана дилогия Рудниците на цар Соломон. Алан Куотърмейн. Уви, тук магията не сработи. Вероятно причината се корени донякъде в мен, вече привикнал към по-друг тип екшън истории (не смея да и си помисля да се вър
হ্যাগার্ড মানে টান টান উত্তেজনা আর লোমহর্ষক অভিমানের উপাখ্যান।
দ্য পিপল অভ দ্য মিস্ট লেখাটাও তার ব্যতিক্রম নয়। প্রথম পঞ্চাশ পৃষ্ঠা পর্যন্ত পড়ার পর থেকে আপনি একটু একটু করে ঘোরের মধ্যে চলে যাবেন। শেষ পৃষ্ঠা অবধি না পৌছানো পর্যন্ত সে ঘোর কাটবে না।

Sir Henry Rider Haggard, the so-called "Father of the Lost Race Novel," didn't write such stories featuring only Allan Quatermain and Ayesha, She Who Must Be Obeyed. For example, his 17th novel, "The People of the Mist" (1894), is a smashing, wonderfully exciting, stand-alone lost-race tale featurin
