About this eBook

Author Haggard, H. Rider (Henry Rider), 1856-1925
Title She
Credits John Bickers, Dagny, William Kyngesburye and David Widger
Summary "She" by H. Rider Haggard is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the mysterious and immortal woman known as Ayesha, exploring themes of adventure, love, and immortality, intertwined with elements of fantasy and the exotic allure of Africa. The main characters include Leo Vincey, a handsome young man with a noble lineage, and Horace Holly, his guardian and confidant, whose perspectives guide the narrative trajectory. The opening of "She" sets the stage for an extraordinary adventure, beginning with an introduction by the editor who claims to present a remarkable true narrative rather than mere fiction. It describes how Holly first met Leo Vincey and his guardian and hints at their connection to an incredible history and an ancient quest. As the story unfolds, the premise of a mysterious iron chest and the weight of a legacy tied to ancient Egypt and past adventures is established. Holly learns he is to become the guardian of Leo, a boy with noble ancestry linked to long-lost adventures, setting into motion a tale steeped in mystique and the quest for eternal knowledge.
