H. Rider Haggard (1856 - 1925)

The setting for this novel is the Boer War in South Africa in 1880. This novel is interesting and exciting on several levels: there are complicated love entanglements, evil Machiavellian treachery, political reflection having to do with the ethics of the colonialism of the day, for one subject for thought, and war in all its lurid and shocking and murderous detail.

Genre(s): Action & Adventure Fiction, Culture & Heritage Fiction, Historical Fiction

Language: English
