Вышедший в 1885 году роман «Копи царя Соломона» мгновенно стал классикой приключенческой литературы. Книга неоднократно допечатывалась, переиздавалась и адаптировалась для киноэкрана. Сам Хаггард написал еще с полторы дюжины продолжений о приключениях Аллана Квотермейна, но ни одно из них не повторило успех оригинала. Состоятельный британский аристократ Генри Куртис просит опытного охотника и путешественника Аллана Квотермейна о помощи. Младший брат Генри отправился в Южную Африку на поиски легендарных копей царя Соломона и бесследно исчез. По слухам, копи таят несметные богатства библейского правителя, но найти их не так-то просто. Аллан и сам слышал эти легенды, но не решался проверить их правдивость. На этот раз он соглашается и снаряжает экспедицию. Впереди путников ждут долгая дорога через палящую пустыню и суровые горы, нападения аборигенов и диких зверей и другие испытания…

В очередной том Генри Райдера Хаггарда входят два бесспорных шедевра приключенческого жанра — «Она» и «Айша», стоящие также у истоков жанра фэнтези.

Хаггард еле поспевал за рукой, рассказывая историю могущественной белой женщины, правящей таинственным народом, затерянным в недрах Африки. Несмотря на явный успех, писатель отодвинул создание второго романа на целых 18 лет. Именно столько времени должно было пройти после событий первой книги. Свои восторги от этой истории высказывали многие известные писатели и ученые от Киплинга и Конан Дойла до Юнга и Фрейда.…
