Summary "Jess: Épisode de la guerre du Transvaal" by H. Rider Haggard is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set during the backdrop of the Transvaal War and introduces the main character, Captain John Niel, who finds himself in a precarious adventure involving a dangerous ostrich and two young women, Bessie and Jess Croft. The narrative explores themes of survival, danger, and emerging relationships in a vivid South African landscape. The opening of the novel presents a sweltering day in the Transvaal, where Captain John Niel encounters a fierce ostrich while attempting to reach the home of an old farmer, Mr. Croft. During this encounter, he bravely intervenes to save Bessie Croft from a deadly attack by the bird, leading to an unexpected and powerful connection between them. As the scene unfolds, we also meet Jess, Bessie's sister, who carries an air of mystery that intrigues John. The narrative sets the stage for John's transition from military life to farming in South Africa, amidst the complexities of relationships and the stark beauty of his new surroundings.
