Summary: "Allan Quatermain" by H. Rider Haggard is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around the main character, Allan Quatermain, an experienced big game hunter and adventurer, who is mourning the loss of his son. As he reflects on his previous travels in Africa, he feels an intense yearning to return to the wilderness, away from the constraints of civilization. The opening of the novel sets a somber tone, beginning with Quatermain's heartfelt diary entry about his son Harry's tragic death from smallpox. In his grief, Quatermain muses on the nature of life and civilization, expressing a longing for the untamed lands of Africa where he had spent much of his life. Shortly after this personal reflection, we are introduced to his old friends, Sir Henry Curtis and Captain Good, who encourage him to embark on a new expedition into the wilderness. They discuss plans to travel to Mount Kenia and uncover the mysteries of an uncharted territory, possibly inhabited by a legendary white race. The narrative hints at adventure, exploration, and themes of loss, making it an engaging read for those interested in tales of exploration and the complexities of human nature.
