Sir Henry Rider Haggard, the so-called “father of the novel Lost Race”, not to write such stories only Thanks Allan Quatermain and Ayesha, one that must be respected. For example, his novel, 17 “,” People of the Mist “(1894), is a stunning, surprisingly fascinating story of autonomous lost a race with new characters. But the first third of the novel the story just lost a race at all, and the African adventure hard cook. In this article we meet Leonard Outram beggar British adventurer seeking wealth in the wilds of Africa, “black”, losing their land to family and inheritance (no fault of their own to this is added). He has been involved in the rescue of a young woman of Portuguese slavery, the largest camps in Africa, and it is fascinating and very interesting section of the book provides more than entertainment Almost all the novels. But it was only after Leonard and Otter (his sidekick 4 meters Zulu) rescue Juanna Rodd, that the book really takes off, and people hunt of fog, and the treasures of the legendary horde begins. Once lost his race was discovered, Leonard and R ° is involved in a conspiracy involving impersonation of the gods and priests against the policy of the king, and throws in some of the victims of violent Haggard giant crocodile god, “Auto” stampede along the glacier, some novels and a good dose of humor (thanks to this wonderful character Otter), so that the reader is always fun. theology has lost this race is very detailed and, as so often in the fairy tale happily Haggard, the author offers numerous comments from the parties in regard to his philosophy of life. For readers who enjoyed other stories by Sir Henry (I read about 30 at this stage, people can be addictive!), “People fog” will resonate in different directions, resulting in mind both the early and late work of Haggard. For example, the nature of SOA (Juanna nurses insanely jealous) looks like a baboon woman Hendrika “Allan’s Wife” (1889). Otter in itself is a precursor Sidekick Hottentot Hans Quatermain, especially when trying to fight against a giant crocodile god, as Hans later fight a monstrous serpent God in “The Child Ivory” (1916). (These gods giant animals, it should be noted, probably the inspiration for all those creatures, like the stories of Robert E. Howard, Hendrika, probably the inspiration for Tarzan Edgar Rice Burroughs.) But this is not possible in the world that the reader – one more familiar with copyright right – guess how things will turn to our intrepid explorers in this exciting story going on. However, it should be noted that Haggard is guilty of several layers, in this book. pearl huge crocodile god cut sapphire, a few hundred pages later, He was a ruby. motto of the family of Leonardo said to heart, home and honor “and later, this slogan says:” For the house, honor and heart. ” But it’s little things that only the most eye readers will notice (my personal curse, I suppose). The vast majority of readers, I think it will be so preoccupied with funny and nice that they do not notice these little lapses. The key is that “the people of Mist” is another wonderful page-turner, H. Rider Haggard. Now, when the director of Friendly spend $ 200 million to implement it on the big screen?

Sir Henry Rider Haggard wrote many great works – “She”, “King Solomon’s mines, and underestimated treasure, beautifully written, fascinating and moving story of adventure, love, sacrifice and a lost civilization in Africa. My favorite character is Africa” Otter ” which is both funny and heroic, it seems absurd, but in reality it is much smarter than her white employers in English. I first read and loved “People Mist” at the age of 15 years when it was reissued as part of this great series Ballantine Adult Fantasy Lin Carter (who also introduced a new generation of readers of all Fantasy great time Dunsany, Lovecraft, Cabell, and Clark Ashton Smith). I’ve read dozens of times over the past quarter century and is still a great show scanning. Read it, buy it, reprint it. Haggard was the progenitor of all, before Burroughs, Mandy and lamb, before Robert Howard to Wilbur Smith and Buchan was Sir Harry.

It was a godsend for me. I’ve never heard of Henry Rider Haggard, until I read People fog! This is a beautifully written masterpiece. My favorite character has to be Otter from Africa. He was uneducated, but has a great knowledge of the problems of individuals. Four main characters are so well developed that you feel like you know them. They are opposed by African slave traders and overcome to save and liberate the slaves of the slaves of the complex. This is the last step, which takes band earth people out of the mist, and possibly, the treasures of King Solomon’s mines
description of Africa nicely done. Expectations are high and keeps you turning the pages. This book is worth reading several times. Just think, I can not buy that have not heard about the book or Henry Rider Haggard, but he was released under the light. Thanks, Amazon.
