Summary "A Yellow God: An Idol of Africa" by H. Rider Haggard is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around Sir Robert Aylward and Major Alan Vernon, two central characters involved in a speculative scheme known as the Sahara flotation, which aims to transform a desert region into a flourishing area for commerce. The initial focus of the narrative explores themes of greed, financial manipulation, and unforeseen consequences that arise from the ambitions of the characters. The opening portion of the book introduces Sir Robert Aylward, an ambitious financier, who revels in his new wealth but is soon confronted by his partner Alan Vernon, who expresses moral concerns regarding the dubious ethical nature of their business practices. As the plot unfolds, Alan seeks to distance himself from the questionable motivations behind the Sahara project after a conversation with an editor who hints at a scandal. Meanwhile, a peculiar golden idol, known as the Yellow God, becomes a symbol of deeper cultural and supernatural elements, hinting at themes of fate and consequence intertwined with the narrative of wealth and ambition. As tensions rise among the characters and their motivations are laid bare, the story sets the stage for greater conflicts ahead. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
