作者简介

H. Rider Haggard, born Henry Rider Haggard on June 22, 1856, in Norfolk, England, established himself as a prolific English writer of the 19th and early 20th centuries. His innovative prose within the adventure and fantasy genres has cemented him as a primary figure in the literary world. Notably, Haggard is best recognized for his work 'King Solomon's Mines' (1885), where he introduces the character Allan Quatermain, a template for the adventure hero archetype, which significantly influenced subsequent literature and paved the way for similar characters like Indiana Jones. 'Queen Sheba's Ring' (1910) is another of Haggard's prominent works, showcasing his unique blend of adventure, mysticism, and ancient civilizations, illustrating his continued fascination with Africa, a continent he was intimately connected with during his work in the British colonial service. Haggard's narrative style often weaves together elements of romance, supernatural, and exotic locales, creating escapist fiction that both entertains and incites contemplation on colonial and cultural themes. His contribution to the literary form of the 'lost world' genre has been acknowledged as formative and genre-defining. Haggard's prolific output included over 50 novels and numerous short stories and non-fiction works until his death on May 14, 1925. His legacy as a foundational author in adventure fiction endures, influencing literature, film, and popular culture more broadly.
