Maiwa’s Revenge: Or The War Of The Little Hand is a novel written by Henry Rider Haggard in 1888. The story is set in South Africa and follows the journey of Allan Quatermain, a big-game hunter, and his companions as they travel through the wilderness in search of treasure. Along the way, they encounter various challenges and dangers, including hostile tribes and treacherous terrain. The plot revolves around the character of Maiwa, a young woman seeking revenge against a tribe that killed her family. She enlists the help of Quatermain and his team to aid her in her quest for vengeance. As they travel deeper into the heart of the African wilderness, they become embroiled in a conflict between rival tribes, leading to a battle that will determine the fate of the region. The novel is known for its vivid descriptions of the African landscape and its portrayal of the complex social and political structures of the indigenous peoples. It also explores themes of revenge, honor, and loyalty, as well as the clash between traditional and modern values. Overall, Maiwa’s Revenge: Or The War Of The Little Hand is a thrilling adventure story that offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of 19th-century Africa.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
