Giới thiệu tác giả
Sir Henry Rider Haggard (1856–1925) was a prolific English writer, who achieved fame for his adventure novels set in exotic locations. Born in Bradenham, Norfolk, Haggard developed a passion for the expansive landscapes and cultures of the British Empire during his time in South Africa as a young man working for the British government. His career as a writer was cemented with the publication of 'King Solomon's Mines' in 1885, a work that set a template for the 'lost world' genre that he would become associated with. Haggard's storytelling artistry lies in his vivid imagination and a keen sense for historical settings, which he combined to create compelling narratives with a touch of romance and fantasy. Another notable work in his oeuvre is 'The Brethren' (1904), which exemplifies Haggard's literary style—rich descriptions, intricate plots, and dynamic characters. This novel depicts the adventures of two English knights during the times of the Crusades, offering readers a blend of historical fiction and romanticized action. Haggard's literature reflects his advocacy for British Imperialism, a common sentiment of his era, which has been subject to modern critique. Nonetheless, his works continue to be enjoyed for their escapism and adventure, cementing his legacy as a pioneer of the adventure novel genre. Sir Haggard was also a member of the Royal Society of Literature and was knighted in 1912 in recognition of his contributions to literature.
