Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: "AYESHA SERIES – Complete Collection: She (A History of Adventure) + Ayesha (The Return of She) + She & Allan + Wisdom's Daughter" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents: "She" is one of the classics of imaginative literature, and one of the best-selling books of all time. She was extraordinarily popular upon its release and has never been out of print. The story is a first-person narrative that follows the journey of Horace Holly and his ward Leo Vincey to a lost kingdom in the African interior. There they encounter a primitive race of natives and a mysterious white queen named Ayesha who reigns as the all-powerful "She", or "She-who-must-be-obeyed". In this work, Rider Haggard developed the conventions of the Lost World subgenre, which many later authors emulated. "Ayesha, the Return of She" is a gothic-fantasy novel, a sequel to his far more popular and well known novel, She. "She and Allan" is a novel, in which Haggard brought together his two most popular characters, Ayesha from She (to which it serves as a prequel), and Allan Quatermain from King Solomon's Mines. Wisdom's Daughter is the final book in the Ayesha series. Sir Henry Rider Haggard (1856-1925) was an English writer of adventure novels set in exotic locations, predominantly Africa, and a pioneer of the Lost World literary genre. His stories, situated at the lighter end of Victorian literature, continue to be popular and influential. His novels portray many of the stereotypes associated with colonialism, yet they are unusual for the degree of sympathy with which the native populations are portrayed.

Download or read book The Ultimate H Rider Haggard Collection written by Henry Rider Haggard and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-11-13 with total page 16757 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Embark upon an awe-inspiring literary journey with 'The Ultimate H. Rider Haggard Collection', an assemblage of the prolific oeuvre of Sir Henry Rider Haggard. Within its pages lies an adventure across continents and through the veils of time, consisting of the well-known Allan Quatermain and Ayesha series, amongst numerous other novels, short stories, and non-fiction works. Haggard's illustrious command of language and narrative structure grants readers passage to worlds filled with daring exploits, ancient civilizations, and mythological splendors, while anchoring himself firmly as a cardinal figure in the Lost World literary tradition. This collection accentuates Haggard's notable literary style by encapsulating the breadth of his imaginative prowess and his influential contributions to the genre. Sir Henry Rider Haggard was not merely an author; he was an architect of escapism that reflected his real-world encounters with diverse cultures and landscapes through his tenure in the British colonial administration in South Africa. The experiences garnered from his time abroad, markedly in Africa, fed into the vibrant tapestry of his writing, imbuing it with authenticity and a tangible sense of place. Haggard's work is symptomatic of the Victorian society's fascination with the 'Other' and represents a narrative conduit that sated the era's appetite for exploration and discovery. His literary outpouring was arguably a catalyst for his contemporaries and subsequent generations of adventure and fantasy writers. Readers across the spectrum—from the erudite scholar to the casual aficionado of classic literature—will find 'The Ultimate H. Rider Haggard Collection' to be an invaluable treasury. Those in quest of high adventure, sweeping romance, and the allure of the unknown will be richly rewarded. Haggard's narratives are not merely stories; they are portals to the prodigious, an invitation to the imagination, and a reverent nod to the bygone days of literary enchantment. This compendium is a testament to the enduring legacy of a master storyteller, making it an essential cornerstone for any home library.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-volume set offers comprehensive coverage of horror literature that spans its deep history, dominant themes, significant works, and major authors, such as Stephen King, Edgar Allan Poe, and Anne Rice, as well as lesser-known horror writers. Many of today's horror story fans—who appreciate horror through movies, television, video games, graphic novels, and other forms—probably don't realize that horror literature is not only one of the most popular types of literature but one of the oldest. People have always been mesmerized by stories that speak to their deepest fears. Horror Literature through History shows 21st-century horror fans the literary sources of their favorite entertainment and the rich intrinsic value of horror literature in its own right. Through profiles of major authors, critical analyses of important works, and overview essays focused on horror during particular periods as well as on related issues such as religion, apocalypticism, social criticism, and gender, readers will discover the fascinating early roots and evolution of horror writings as well as the reciprocal influence of horror literature and horror cinema. This unique two-volume reference set provides wide coverage that is current and compelling to modern readers—who are of course also eager consumers of entertainment. In the first section, overview essays on horror during different historical periods situate works of horror literature within the social, cultural, historical, and intellectual currents of their respective eras, creating a seamless narrative of the genre's evolution from ancient times to the present. The second section demonstrates how otherwise unrelated works of horror have influenced each other, how horror subgenres have evolved, and how a broad range of topics within horror—such as ghosts, vampires, religion, and gender roles—have been handled across time. The set also provides alphabetically arranged reference entries on authors, works, and specialized topics that enable readers to zero in on information and concepts presented in the other sections.
