Inhaltsangabe

'I think, ' I said in a low voice so that none might overhear, 'that his heart is as black as his brow; that he has grown wicked with jealousy and hate and will do you evil.' 'Can a man grow wicked, Ana? Is he not as he was born till the end? I do not know, nor do you...' -from "Chapter III: Userti" His works are not as well remembered as those of the writers he influenced, including Edgar Rice Burroughs, but the fantastical adventure novels of H. Rider Haggard laid the foundation for the popular fiction of the 20th century: Indiana Jones himself may owe his birth to Haggard's Allan Quatermain. Moon of Israel, one of Haggard's last works, was first published in book form in 1918. A beautiful and gracious retelling of the beloved Bible story of the Exodus, told through the eyes of the scribe Ana, it is a classic of historical fantasy that will thrill everyone from Biblical scholars to fans of pulp adventure. British writer SIR HENRY RIDER HAGGARD (1856-1925) is best known for his novels King Solomon's Mines (1885) and Allan Quatermain (1887).

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Sir Henry Rider Haggard, born on June 22, 1856, in Bradenham, United Kingdom, was a prominent English writer known for his adventure fiction, particularly those set in exotic locations like Africa. His novels often blend thrilling adventures with elements of fantasy and exploration. Haggard was also active in land reform efforts across the British Empire, advocating for improvements in the lives of indigenous peoples. He married Mariana Louisa Margitson in 1880, with whom he had two daughters. Haggard's parents were William Meybohm Rider Haggard and Ella Doveton. Andrew Lang, born March 31, 1844, in Selkirk, United Kingdom, was a Scottish poet, novelist, and literary critic, best known for collecting folk and fairy tales. A scholar with a broad range of interests, Lang contributed to anthropology and was a notable figure at the University of St Andrews, where the Andrew Lang lectures were named in his honor. Lang's marriage to Leonora Blanche Alleyne in 1875 marked a personal chapter in his life. His legacy is deeply embedded in children's literature, with his fairy tale collections remaining influential. Lang passed away on July 20, 1912, in Banchory, United Kingdom.
