About the book: year / Henry Rider Haggard is one of those lucky literary names that is familiar not only to specialists professionally engaged in English literature, but also to the widest circle of readers . The basis, the core of his work are historical adventure novels with a very strong romantic overtones. The circulation of Haggard's books was read avidly and even exceeded the circulation of works by such famous writers as R. L. Stevenson, A. K. Doyle, only R. Kipling held the palm in the last decade of the 19th century. Haggard's novels were admired by his fellow writers - the same Kipling, Stevenson, W. de la Mare, W. Henley, S.S. Lewis, and even in our days - G. Miller and Gr. Green, political figures - T. Roosevelt, W. Churchill, but the main thing is that he was extremely popular among broad layers of ordinary people, the middle class and especially young people. So Haggard’s novels can be considered an expressive example of good “mass historical adventure literature”, in demand more than a century later. Contents: 1. Beautiful Margaret 2.
