Book Description
This carefully crafted ebook: "THE ZULU TRILOGY – Complete Allan Quatermain Series: Marie - An Episode in the Life of the Late Allan Quatermain + Child of Storm + Finished" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. "Marie" reveals Allan Quatermain as a young man and involves his first marriage, to the Boer farm girl, Marie Marais. Their romance is opposed by Marie's anti-English father, and the villainous Pereira, who desires Marie. They are Voortrekkers who take part in the Great Trek whom Quatermain has to rescue. The novel describes Quatermain's involvement in the Sixth Xhosa War of 1835 and Weenen massacre. Real life people such as Piet Retief, Thomas Halstead, and the Zulu chief Dingane appear as characters. "Child of Storm" is a novel set in 1854-56 and concerns Quatermain hunting in Zululand and getting involved with Mameema, a beautiful African girl who causes great turmoil in the Zulu kingdom. The novel is the second in a trilogy by Haggard involving the collapse of the Zulu kingdom and featuring the dwarf Zikali. "Finished" is a the last novel in this trilogy about the Zulu kingdom. It is set against the background of the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879, covering events leading up to the war, and ending with the death of Cetewayo. Quatermain is depicted as being one of the few survivors of the Battle of Isandhlwana. Like others in the series, several real-life characters appear, such as Cetewayo and Anthony Durnford. Sir Henry Rider Haggard (1856-1925) was an English writer of adventure novels set in exotic locations, predominantly Africa, and a pioneer of the Lost World literary genre.

Book Description
Child of Storm is the second part of a three-book sequence in the Allan Quatermain series (Marie was the first, and Finished is the third--yes, there's a book between Child of Storm and Finished, but that's because, as in real life, we often have adventures between significant parts of our lives that are connected anyway). In any case, this adventure finds Quatermain attracted to Mameema, a gorgeous African woman in the Zulu kingdom. Real people from history mingle with the fictional characters Haggard created, and the ride is filled with action, so strap yourself in. This large print edition is presented in easy-to-read 20 point type.

Book Description
The collection Imperial Middlebrow, edited by Christoph Ehland and Jana Gohrisch, takes middlebrow studies further in two ways. First, it focuses on the role middlebrow writing played in the popularisation and dissemination of imperial ideology. It combines the interest in the wider function of literature for a colonial society with close scrutiny of the ideological and socio-economic contexts of writers and readers. The essays cover the Girl’s Own Paper, fiction about colonial India including its appearance in Scottish writing, the West Indies, the South Pacific, as well as illustrations of Haggard’s South African imperial romances. Second, the volume proposes using the concept of the middlebrow as an analytical tool to read recent Black and Asian British as well as Nigerian fiction.

Book Description
As southern Africa is torn apart by a so-called white man's war, Dallas Granger-Acheson and his beloved wife, Lorna, are caught up in a conflict between fiercely proud descendants of Dutch settlers and the might of Britain's colonial empire. At stake: possession of a land rich in gold, diamonds and cheap human resources.Atrocities of the Anglo-Boer war take a terrible toll on soldiers and civilians alike. Lorna fears for her husband and sons-extrovert Cameron; brooding and secretive Torben; roguish Duncan; and Frazer, the youngest, softly spoken and artistic. She worries for her daughters-medically minded Ellie, who is never far from the front line, and headstrong Meggie, baby of the family. None are left untouched. From battlefields stained with blood and concentration camps rife with disease, to a pride of veldt lions thriving in the madness of war, Footprints of Lion is an action-packed sequel to Shadows in the Grass. Love, hate, revenge, triumph and much more stalk the pages of this unforgettable novel from Beverley Harper.
