Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Henry Rider Haggard (1856-1925) was educated at Ipswich School before careers as a colonial administrator in Africa and as a barrister in England. A prolific novelist, many of his stories, such as King Solomon's Mines and She, are set in Africa, and he is notable for portraying African characters sympathetically at a time when this was unusual. His 'lost world' novels influenced Arthur Conan Doyle, Rudyard Kipling and Indiana Jones; he was knighted in 1912.
