關於本電子書
'Allan’s Wife' belongs to the Allan Quatermain’s adventure series and closes the chapter on the famous adventurer's travels through South Africa.
The novel commences with Allan’s childhood, his first love Stella whose life he saves, and all his expeditions and musings. Observations upon two embattled witch doctors follow, along with the fallout after his father's passing and eventually the complications of fate that threaten to ensnare his wife, Stella.
A work that precedes Edgar Rice Burroughs' 'Tarzan of The Apes' by just about a quarter of a century - 'Allan's Wife' is a gripping and insightful adventure tale exploring human flaws as well as world-renowned biologist Darwin's evolutionary theories, particularly in respect to humans growing up among wild animals.
If you are a fan of the Indiana Jones on-screen series starring Harrison Ford - you'll be thrilled to find out that the Allan Quatermain series has had a major influence on some of the daring action highlights throughout the franchise. H. Rider Haggard (1856-1925) was an English adventure fiction and non-fiction writer. His works include short stories and novels that have influenced adult and children’s literature alike. Considered a pioneer in the lost world literary genre, his stories are often set in exotic locations, primarily Africa. Haggard’s stories have been adapted into films countless times. The Ayesha novel series has seen several film adaptations, including She (1965) starring Peter Cushing and Ursula Andress, based loosely on the books.
