She, (Paperback)

<p><strong><em>She</em></strong></p><p>H. Rider Haggard</p><p>A professor is entreated by a dying colleague to take custody of the colleague's five-year old son, raise him to adulthood, and at that time pass on a chest to him. The professor does so, and when the child reaches ad<em>ulthood and the chest i</em>s revealed, it leads them on an adventure to Africa. There they encounter a young queen of a lost race who says she's over two thousand years old, with an equally startling claim about the young man.H. <strong>Rider Haggard</strong> invented the "lost world" genre of fiction with <strong>King Solomon</strong>'s Mines, and he continued the theme, adding in a bit of romance, in <strong>She. Haggard</strong> wrote the book in six months "in a white heat," and handed the manuscript to his agent with the remark, "There is what I shall be remembered by." Haggard was right: with its setting in darkest Africa and a woman at its center described as the most beautiful in the world, <strong>She</strong> was a sensation at its release, has never been out of print, and has sold upwards of <strong>100</strong> million copies.<strong><em>She</em></strong></p><p>H.
