The story follows Allan Quatermain, a seasoned adventurer and hunter in South Africa, as he recounts the foundational events of his life, particularly his marriage and the loss of his beloved wife. The narrative unfolds against a backdrop of adventure, danger, and the untamed beauty of the African landscape, capturing the complexities of love and loss. The opening of "Allan's Wife" introduces us to Allan Quatermain in a reflective mood after the death of his wife, Jess. He begins to lay bare his past, starting from his early days in England and tracing his roots back to his father, a missionary. Quatermain recalls significant memories, such as a Christmas incident involving his childhood acquaintance, Stella Carson, and hints at the deep bond that would later form between them. The narrative sets the stage for Quatermain's adventures in Africa, not only exploring his personal history but also the rapidly changing landscape of the continent, filled with both nostalgia and impending threats. His reflections on loss and the passage of time hint at the adventures and tribulations he will share as he dives into the profound story of his life and love.
