"In 1914 Sir Henry Rider Haggard, the author of King Solomon's Mines, Allan Quatermain and She, returned to South Africa, the country that had fired his imagination, for the first time since 1881. Touring as a member of the Dominions Royal Commission, Haggard found it hard to recognise the Africa of his youth - the discovery of gold, the destruction of the Zulu kingdom, the Anglo-Boer War, had all left their mark. From a clutch of separate states, South Africa had become a single political entity under the banner of Union. While the tour often rekindled Haggard's romantic notions of Africa - notably during his visit to the Great Zimbabwe ruins in Rhodesia and on a trip through Zululand - his resulting diary also reflects a changed Haggard: no longer the novelist but a man of affairs and a public servant. Neither was he the diehard imperialist of his youth, but instead someone prepared to take note of nascent black politics and look prophetically into South Africa's future. Witness his views on race and politics; his thoughts on the plight of the Zulu; and, perhaps most startlingly, his interview with John Dube, first president of the African National Congress. Published for the first time, Diary of an African Journey presents a fresh picture of Haggard, often at variance with both popular and academic perceptions of his life and work. It also marks an advance in biographical work on Haggard as the Introduction and Notes contain much hitherto unpublished material relating to his early life in South Africa.".…

He had left in 1881, in his mid-twenties, an unknown, he returned a houshold name, after the success of his novels, such as "King Solomon's Mines" and "She". Touring the country as a member of the Dominions Royal Commission, Haggard found it hard to recognise the South Africa of his youth; war and politics had left their mark. Haggard had also changed, he considered himself a "man of affairs" rather than as a novelist.

Hardback. Zustand: New. H. Rider Haggard (1856-1925), author of King Solomon's Mines, Allan Quatermain and She, was no stranger to the continent where his bestsellers were set. He lived in southern Africa from 1875 to 1881, a period that witnessed Britain's attempted confederation of the sub-continent, the Anglo- Zulu War of 1879, and the final subjugation of its indigenous peoples. In this new biography, the South African aspect of Haggard's life is explored in hitherto unrecorded detail. The success of King Solomon's Mines saw him relinquish a legal career to write full-time; he also became a respected agricultural expert and social commentator, receiving a knighthood for his public service.Haggard wrote over seventy books, fiction and non-fiction. His African adventure stories feature strong black characters, and the majority of his novels assertive female ones, not least She. Haggard's unwitting expression of the Victorian sub-conscious attracted the interest of both Freud and Jung. Haunted by a lost love, the tragic death of his only son and frequent bouts of depression, he endlessly probed the conundrums of life and death.Containing much new material, this biography explores Haggard's personal and public life to resurrect the writer whom Graham Greene, an admirer, called 'the buried man'.…
