Beschreibung

Allan Quatermain enters one of H. Rider Haggard's most turbulent African adventures in Child of Storm, a novel of beauty, ambition, prophecy, tribal conflict, and political upheaval in Zululand. Quatermain becomes entangled in the fate of Mameena, the brilliant and dangerous woman whose presence unsettles everyone around her, and in the wider struggle between rival powers within the Zulu kingdom. Desire, loyalty, superstition, courage, and calculation collide as private passions become inseparable from public violence.
Set against the conflict between Cetshwayo and Umbelazi, sons of the Zulu king Mpande, the novel places Quatermain at the edge of events shaped by dynastic rivalry, battlefield danger, and the mysterious influence of Zikali. Haggard combines historical adventure, romance, prophecy, and fatalism in a story that belongs to the larger Quatermain cycle while standing strongly on its own. The result is a classic adventure novel in which human desire and political destiny move together toward catastrophe.
This A&D edition presents Child of Storm as part of the Allan Quatermain adventure sequence, suited to readers of classic adventure fiction, historical adventure, African expedition tales, lost-world romance, imperial-era fiction, and the novels of H. Rider Haggard. For those following Quatermain across the series, it is an essential entry in the Zulu sequence, linking personal drama to the larger collapse and transformation of a kingdom.

Über den Autor

H. Rider Haggard (1856-1925), born Henry Rider Haggard, was an English novelist, colonial administrator, agricultural reformer, and one of the major creators of Victorian adventure fiction. After working in southern Africa as a young man, Haggard drew on imperial settings, expedition narratives, African landscapes, treasure legends, and lost kingdoms to create some of the most influential adventure novels of the late nineteenth century. His fiction helped shape the popular imagination of exploration, hidden civilizations, ancient mysteries, and heroic peril.Haggard's best-known works include King Solomon's Mines, Allan Quatermain, She, Allan and the Holy Flower, and many other adventure romances. His most famous recurring hero, Allan Quatermain, became a model for later fictional adventurers: experienced, practical, brave, observant, and drawn into quests where survival depends on nerve, knowledge, and endurance. King Solomon's Mines remains central to Haggard's reputation because it helped define the lost-world adventure novel and influenced generations of treasure-hunt stories, jungle adventures, expedition thrillers, and pulp fiction.
