Résumé : "Allan Quatermain" by H. Rider Haggard is a classic adventure novel that follows the protagonist, Allan Quatermain, on a thrilling expedition into the heart of Africa. The story begins with Quatermain, a seasoned hunter and guide, who is mourning the loss of his son. Seeking solace and distraction, he embarks on a journey with his companions, Sir Henry Curtis and Captain John Good, to find a lost civilization rumored to exist in the unexplored regions of Africa. The narrative is rich with themes of exploration, friendship, and the clash of cultures. As the group ventures deeper into the continent, they encounter various challenges, including hostile tribes, treacherous landscapes, and mysterious phenomena. The novel is renowned for its vivid descriptions of the African wilderness and its portrayal of the complex relationships between the characters and the indigenous people they meet. Haggard's work is a reflection of the Victorian era's fascination with exploration and the unknown, as well as a commentary on the imperial attitudes of the time. "Allan Quatermain" is a sequel to Haggard's earlier novel, "King Solomon's Mines," and continues to explore the character's adventures and personal growth.
