It is a classic tale of exploration and discovery, and a must-read for fans of H. Rider Haggard and adventure literature.Whatever else may have been false in this man’s nature, one thing rang true, namely, his love or his infatuation for the girl Mameena. Throughout his life she was his guiding star--about as evil a star as could have arisen upon any man’s horizon; the fatal star that was to light him down to doom. Let me thank Providence, as I do, that I was so fortunate as to escape its baneful influences, although I admit that they attracted me not a little.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
