Before Nathan Drake, before Indiana Jones, there was Allan Quatermain.

Veteran elephant hunter Allan Quatermain is hired by Sir Henry Curtis and Captain John Good to find Sir Henry's missing brother, who vanished while searching for the fabled diamond mines of King Solomon. Armed with a centuries-old map drawn in blood, the three men cross a scorching desert and freezing mountain passes into the hidden land of Kukuanaland. There they face the tyrant king Twala, the sinister witch Gagool, and a civil war, all before reaching the legendary treasure vault deep beneath the mountains.

Fast-paced, atmospheric and packed with danger, King Solomon's Mines is one of the most influential adventure novels ever written. It inspired a century of explorer stories, from pulp magazines to Indiana Jones and modern action-adventure games.Gates of Imagination Art Social Sciences Travel Writing & Commentary
