Formatted for E-Readers, Unabridged & Original version. You will find it much more comfortable to read on your device/app. Easy on your eyes. Includes: 15 Colored Illustrations and Biography Allan Quatermain is the protagonist of H. Rider Haggard's 1885 novel King Solomon's Mines and its sequels. Allan Quatermain was also the title of a book in this sequence.The character Quatermain is an English-born professional big game hunter and occasional trader in southern Africa, who supports colonial efforts to spread civilization in the Dark Continent, though he also favours native Africans having a say in their affairs. An outdoorsman who finds English cities and climate unbearable, he prefers to spend most of his life in Africa, where he grew up under the care of his widower father, a Christian missionary. In the earliest-written novels, native Africans refer to Quatermain as Macumazahn, meaning "Watcher-by-Night," a reference to his nocturnal habits and keen instincts. In later-written novels, Macumazahn is said to be a short form of Macumazana, meaning "One who stands out." Quatermain is frequently accompanied by his native servant, the Hottentot Hans, a wise and caring family retainer from his youth. His sarcastic comments offer a sharp critique of European conventions. In his final adventures, Quatermain is joined by two British companions, Sir Henry Curtis and Captain John Good of the Royal Navy, and by his African friend Umslopogaas.

From the Back Cover Once more Allan Quatermain and his companions set out for Africa, this time in search of a white race reputed to live north of Mount Kenia. They survive fierce encounters with Masai warriors, undergo a terrifying subterranean journey, and discover a lost civilization before being caught up in a passionate love-triangle that engulfs the country in a ferocious civil war. Haggard not only narrates his story with wonderfully dramatic and poetic touches, but also reveals many Victorian preoccupations with evolution and race, sexuality, and the 'New Woman'.
About the Author Stephen Coan is an assistant editor of The Natal Witness.Henry Rider Haggard (1856 1925) was an English writer whose best-known work is the romantic adventure tale King Solomon's Mines, though he wrote over forty books in his lifetime.

In fact, I just started reading King Solomon's Mines.The Kindle formatting was OK for this. The one gripe I had is that there were various end notes that were really at the end of the book. Because it's kind of hard to turn real pages and then flip back, it would have been nice if the notes had been at the ends of chapters.However, since this version was free, I'm not going to dock it a star. There weren't that many notes anyway, and they weren't that vital to the story.This is the story of Allan Quartermain's last adventure. He, Sir Henry Curtis, and Commander John Good go in search of a lost city of white people in Africa. There is also Umslopagaas, a Zulu ex-chief/warrior, who might be my favorite character. I hope he shows up in another Allan Quartermain novel. (Curtis & Good are also in King Solomon's Mines, and so far, Umslopagaas has been mentioned, but I don't know if he'll actually show up.)The book is a lot of fun. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes a good adventure story.
45 of 46 people found the following review helpful. A Top Shelf Adventure By C. E. Martin I started reading Allan Quatermain stories with King Solomon's Mines because I knew the title and, frankly, it was free. They are fantastic, gripping adventures with great characters and vividly described, amazing settings. They are in public domain, but don't let their age hold you back; they are written in a style that feels as current as anything written this year. Read King Solomon's Mines first, then Allan Quatermain; these are the first two written. Best of all, I understand that there are about a dozen more Quatermain books (prequels and others) which are also available for free!
18 of 20 people found the following review helpful. High Drama in high style By Mendy Ouzillou Again I ask myself, how come I've never heard of this author before? His storytelling skill surpasses most others for sure. He tells the story in high prose. Very poetic at times, entertaining and suspenseful. You love every character!I've made it a goal to read everything H.R. Haggard has written in more or less the order in which they were written. This one makes the 3rd novel I've read. They have all been terrific and I coulnd't put this one down. The plot development proceeds at a great pace. The characters (old and new) are always fun and true to life. The ending in this book surprised me. But, I won't say how as I hate spoilers.H.R. Haggard's books should all be movies! I love them all and I really loved this one. Add to the fact that they are free and you can't lose.
