Sinopse

In "She and Allan," H. Rider Haggard weaves an extraordinary tale of adventure that seamlessly blends elements of fantasy, romance, and philosophical reflection. This sequel to Haggard's earlier work, "She: A History of Adventure," continues the exploration of the enigmatic character Ayesha, as she embarks on a journey alongside Allan Quatermain. The narrative is rich in vivid descriptions of exotic landscapes and encounters with ancient cultures, showcasing Haggard's trademark imaginative prowess while drawing upon the colonial context of the late 19th century. The literary style is characterized by its enthralling prose, which invites readers into a world where the boundaries between reality and myth are tantalizingly blurred. H. Rider Haggard, a pioneer of the adventure fiction genre, is renowned for his deep fascination with Africa and the ancient civilizations that once thrived there. His life experiences, including his work in South Africa, heavily informed his narratives. Haggard sought to explore themes of immortality, civilization, and the enduring power of myth, as evidenced by Ayesha's eternal allure and her complex relationship with mortality. This book is a must-read for adventurers at heart and lovers of speculative fiction alike. Haggard's intricate plotting and layered character development make "She and Allan" not just an adventure story, but a profound reflection on the nature of desire and the quest for knowledge. Readers will find themselves captivated by the timeless appeal of Haggard's work, inviting them to ponder the mysteries that lie beyond the known world.

    Charley Bates was an outsider. Always the third wheel to the Artful Dodger and Oliver Twist's double-act in Fagin's gang. Then he became the redeemed thief who managed to turn himself into 'the merriest young grazier in the whole of Northamptonshire.' But would he remain on the straight and narrow or go back to his criminal ways? What he needed was a mission to keep himself honest. And then he got one: a chance to bring justice to bear on a villain from his past, Monks, the half-brother of Oliver Twist. Getting even would mean a trip from the Thames to the Mississippi and help from old friends to right the wrongs done by the 'creature' as Charley thought of him.
