"She and Allan" by H. Rider Haggard is a novel written in the early 20th century, blending adventure and fantasy with a touch of romance. The narrative centers around the character Allan Quatermain, who reflects on his past encounters with the mystical Ayesha, a woman believed to possess supernatural powers and complexities that blur the lines of reality. The opening of "She and Allan" introduces readers to Allan Quatermain, who begins by pondering the nature of memory and the necessity of recording significant events lest they be forgotten. He reminisces about Ayesha, whom he describes as "She-who-commands," and reveals his unease about the extraordinary experiences he shared with her, which involve themes of deception and the supernatural. Allan explains that he recorded these memories for his own satisfaction rather than for public knowledge, fearing skepticism about their authenticity. As he settles down to read a book that brings Ayesha back to mind, the details of his complex history with her begin to unfold, setting the stage for a journey steeped in mystique and adventure, driven by his search for understanding and connection with the past.
