Beschreibung

"Cleopatra" (AKA "Cleopatra: Being an Account of the Fall and Vengeance of Harmachis"), the most ambitious of Henry Rider Haggard’s romances, presents a vigorous picture of Egypt under the rule of the wonderful Queen.

The story is set in the Ptolemaic era of ancient Egyptian history and revolves around the survival of a dynasty bloodline protected by the Priesthood of Isis. The main character Harmachis (the living descendant of this bloodline) is charged by the Priesthood to overthrow the supposed impostor Cleopatra, drive out the Romans, and restore Egypt to its golden era.

As is the case with the majority of Haggard's works, the story draws heavily upon adventure and exotic concepts. The story, told from the point of view of the Egyptian priest Harmachis, is recounted in biblical language, being in the form of papyrus scrolls found in a tomb.

"Cleopatra" was first printed in 1889 by Longmans.

    World-famous zoologist, Dian Fossey, is remembered for her inspiring work studying the mountain gorillas of central Africa's isolated Virunga Mountains. Her tireless devotion to understanding—and actively protecting—these shy and gentle primates introduced them to an admiring public and promoted values of conservation in the African nations they inhabit. 
    In 1966, Dian Fossey left home for Africa to conduct field research on mountain gorillas. It was her second trip to Africa, but it wouldn't be her last. Ascending through nearly impenetrable mountain jungles, finally she came face-to-face with the majestic creatures she sought. Most people believed gorillas were savage giants, but as Dian's observations proved, that reputation was undeserved. Dian would remain a close friend to the gorillas until her tragic murder in 1985, presumably at the hands of poachers. 
    Narrator Matthew Greer's enthralling reading presents an arresting portrait of Dian Fossey—a strong woman whose life was spent championing a remarkable endangered species. 
     "This fascinating biography will surely snare the attention of young animal lovers and aspiring anthropologists." —Publishers Weekly
