Narrative Supposing Books She and Allan (Allan Quatermain #11)
"I believe it was the old Egyptians – a very wise people, probably indeed much wiser than we know for in the leisure of their ample centuries they had time to think out things – who declared that each individual personality is made up of six or seven different elements, although the Bible only allows us three, namely body soul and spirit..."Wanting to learn if he can communicate with deceased loved ones, adventurer and trader Allan Quatermain seeks a meeting with the feared Zulu witch-doctor Zikali. He tells Allan he must seek out a great white sorceress who rules a hidden kingdom far to the north, and he charges Allan to take a message to her. En route, Quatermain encounters emigrant Scotsmen, cannibals, witch doctors, the beautiful Inez, and of course the mysterious She, or Ayesha.
Although third in order of publication, this book is first in the chronology of the adventures of She.

Совместить всех героев Хаггарда в одновременно существующей реальности невозможно. Конечно, речь не касается подобия американской фантастики в лице Филипа Фармера, умевшего подобное сочетать в измышленном им загробном мире. Но Хаггард к такой мысли не обращался, оставляя сюжетную канву в рамках допустимого. Что случилось с Алланом на этот раз? Теперь он повстречал Айешу. Она великолепна в доставшемся ей по праву проклятия могуществе. Её образу поклоняются тысячи лет, а она сама ожидаетOne of the three books featuring Allen Quartermain and She.
This is the weakest of the four She novels. Ayesha, known as She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed first appeared in serial form from 1896 to 1897 in the novel She: Along with King Solomon's Mines, which featured Allan Quartermain, She is Haggard's most popular and famous novel. So this is a kind of crossover. Batman Meets Superman or Godzilla versus King Kong or Alien versus Predator. And there are moments of humor in this irresistible force meets immovable object. But this left me pretty meh, even as an
Allan quartermaine series is actually pretty good...very much detail and jumpy in places but kind of exciting to for books written in what the early 1900s!?
Published in 1921, She and Allan brings together Haggard's two most popular characters: Allan Quatermain and Ayesha. Allan seeks out Ayesha, through the encouragement of the witch doctor Zikali, in hopes of finding answers about dead loved ones. He becomes involved in the rescue attempt of a young Portuguese-Scotch woman, as well as a battle between Ayesha's followers and her enemies.I thoroughly enjoyed She, which introduces Ayesha, and am a long-standing fan of the Quatermain books. I found
Haggard combines two of his best creations into a crossover novel. I liked it, but not as much as his other novels.The format didn't work as well as I thought it should have, Allan is too incredulous of anything not material and Ayesha is too otherworldly for them to mix together in a way that works as well as they do in their own novels.However, that said, Haggard gets to tell another adventure story that he does so well, he can expand on Ayesha's mercurial character and let Allan do what he
Sir Haggard at his descriptive best with two of his most famous characters Allan Quatermain & Ayesha...what else do you need?
