A Legendary Quest for the Greatest Treasure Known to Man

Join the ultimate adventure that launched a genre. H. Rider Haggard’s King Solomon’s Mines is the quintessential lost-world novel, a breathtaking tale of exploration, survival, and treasure that has captivated readers for over a century.

When the enigmatic adventurer Allan Quatermain is hired by the aristocratic Sir Henry Curtis to find his missing brother, he agrees to a journey more perilous than any he has faced before. Their destination: the uncharted heart of Africa, a land of unforgiving deserts and impassable mountains, rumored to conceal the legendary diamond mines of the Biblical King Solomon.

Guided by a crumbling ancient map, the expedition—including the stoic Captain Good and their loyal native companions—ventures into the unknown. They will face thirst, starvation, and the tusks of enraged elephants. But their greatest trial awaits in the mysterious kingdom of Kukuanas, where they will be caught in a savage war for the throne and come face-to-face with the terrifying and immortal witch Gagool.

The fate of an entire people rests in their hands, and the fabulous wealth of Solomon is almost within their grasp—if they can survive the deadly trap protecting it.

Packed with relentless action, vivid landscapes, and a timeless sense of wonder, King Solomon's Mines is the prototype for every adventure story that followed, and remains an unforgettable, pulse-pounding read.
