Henry Rider Haggard's novel "She," first published in 1887, is one of the best-known, and most fascinating, fantasy adventure stories of all times. Three Englishmen, an elderly professor, his handsome young ward, and their faithful servant, undertake an expedition into the dangerous uncharted interior of Africa in a quest of the mythical source of eternal life. What they find instead is She-who-must-be-obeyed, the unapproachable, cruel, passionate and beautiful immortal Queen, one of fantasy fiction's most intriguing female characters ever. A love affair flares up again that had tragically gone wrong more than 2000 years ago, and a tale unfolds that grips the reader's mind and imagination until the end, and beyond.
