Download or read book King Solomon s Mines Annotated and Illustrated Edition written by Sir H Rider Haggard and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-16 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: H. Rider Haggard came to literary prominence with the publication of King Solomon's Mines in 1885. Haggard self-consciously modeled the book on Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, which Haggard had read. He bet his brother that he could write an adventure story at least as good, and within a year Haggard had published the now-famous novel of adventure. According to some accounts, he wrote the book in under six months.Virginia Brackett calls King Solomon's Mines the "quintessential quest story" (Brackett 1). It includes the archetypal call to adventure (Sir Henry's offer to hire Quatermain), the reluctant hero (Quatermain's lack of desire to go until he knows his son will be provided for), a road of trials (the elephant hunt, the trek through the desert, and so on), the journey to the underworld (the white men's burial in Solomon's treasure chamber and their subsequent escape by going down further into the earth), a quest reward (the diamonds) and a return home (Quatermain's likely retirement to England with Sir Henry and his own son Harry). Various aspects of the novel parallel Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, such as Quatermain's primary motivation to see his son established as a successful man, the various challenges and speeches made before battle, and the single combat between Twala and Sir Henry Curtis. Clearly Haggard was evoking the epic past even as he was helping to develop a new genre of literature.

Book excerpt: In the late 19th century, discoveries of ancient civilizations, like those in Egypt's Valley of the Kings, stirred the imaginations of Europeans with regard to the largely unexplored interior of Africa. First published in 1885, H. Rider Haggard's "King Solomon's Mines" was one the first novels to capitalize on this fascination of the public. It is the story of adventurer Allan Quatermain, who is enlisted by the aristocratic Sir Henry Curtis and his friend Captain Good to help them find Henry's lost brother, last seen traveling into the interior of Africa in search of the riches of the fabled King Solomon's Mines. With the aid of a mysterious map Quatermain agrees to help the two in exchange for a share of the treasure. Along the way they encounter the many perils of the African wilderness, including its vast deserts, dangerous Elephants, and its fierce native warriors. One of the most popular novels of the 19th century, regarded as the genesis of the Lost World literary genre, "King Solomon's Mines" remains to this day as one of the greatest stories of adventure ever told.
