A word of warning to the squeamish, there are some pretty grisly parts although not too graphic by today's standards. Some significant differences from the Stewart Granger movie - most notably the fact that, instead of a wife searching for her lost husband, it is a brother which eliminates all the romantic aspects. I found Alan Quatermain a more interesting character as a widower & self-confessed coward than Granger's he-man (although I adore Stewart Granger). Overall, a better story than you might expect. A finales del siglo XIX, Haggard colocó en las tierras de África, en parte inexploradas, a Allan Quatermain, el cazador de elefantes, enrolado en un viaje erizado de dificultades en busca de las portentosas minas del rey Salomón. Una sucesión de peligros, ocasionados por la naturaleza, las fieras o los nativos —que no entienden la idolatría de los blancos por las piedras— se interpondrá en su camino. De todo esto surge una pregunta esencial: si la “civilización“ materialista y obsesionada por el dinero no será en el fondo más salvaje que esta tribus belicosas perdidas en el corazón de la selva.

HTML: H. Rider Haggard's King Solomon's Mines tells of a group of adventurers journeying into unexplored Africa in order to find the missing brother of one of the party. The book became an immediate bestseller after publication in 1885. At the time large parts of Africa remained unexplored by Europeans and the book captured the imagination of the public. .No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
