Sinossi
Allan Quatermain, esperto cacciatore di elefanti, viene ingaggiato dal gentiluomo inglese sir. Henry Curtis come guida in una spedizione nel cuore dell'Africa alla ricerca di suo fratello, scomparso mentre seguiva le tracce delle miniere di diamanti del re Salomone. Tra colpi di scena, guerre e incontri inattesi, il viaggio si trasformerà in un'esperienza cruciale, un confronto con un mondo sconosciuto e con se stessi. Uno dei più celebri romanzi d'avventura, che Haggard scrisse per scommessa in sole sei settimane per dimostrare di essere capace di un racconto migliore de "L'isola del tesoro". Un viaggio in Africa fuori dai limiti del colonialismo più angusto, ma anche un itinerario spirituale nelle regioni più nascoste dell'anima.

Recensioni

And this is what children were given to read at the time? This is what they saw as an “adventure?” How could Achebe attack Conrad when drivel like thi Leggi tutto

I always fascinated treasure hunt books and this book did really surpassed my expectations. A real adventure it was! Its a story of: survival, revenge, making of a king, greatest treasure hunt, and friendship. I was hooked from the start and the story just got more riveting with every page. This bo
Thriller escapism in the Victorian style! Like many of its contemporaries - Edgar Rice Burrough's Caspak, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Lost World, Jules Verne's subterranean Lidenbrock Sea and even HG Well's Island of Dr Moreau - KING SOLOMON'S MINES is a story of adventure into an exotic locale and can Leggi tutto
This book is the response to a five-shilling dare from Haggard's brother that he couldn't write a book half as good as Treasure Island. Haggard was enormously popular in his time; he and Robert Louis Stevenson were the two dominant adventure writers It's enormously imaginative. Alan Quatermain is a b Leggi tutto
A lot of books have aged badly, but some are worse than others. This is one of the worst, in my opinion. I always try to make allowances for the time in which a book was written, but this one has aged so badly that it’s just impossible to find the good in it. To be fair, it is both dated AND the kind Leggi tutto
دمج رائع بين التاريخ والخيال والعصر الذي عاش فيه الكاتب. احداث مشوقة وسريعة وغامضة تنتقل من مشهد الى اخر. كنوز الملك سليمان يحصل عليها المغامرون بعد مغامرتهم الرائعة ولكن لكل منهم كنزه ومن يضحك آخراً يضحك كثيرا. واختار افريقيا مسرحا لهذه الرواية مع ان تاريخيا كانت مملكة سليمان في آسيا. لان افريقيا تبق Leggi tutto
