Synopsis

Yes, they had begun in my day and we will discuss them later. Still, I say--nearer to the ape than you or I, and therefore of interest, as the germ of things is always. Yet he has qualities, I think; cunning, and fidelity and love which in its round is all in all. Do you understand, Allan, that love is all in all?

Ought to be more fun than it is... 18 May 2000
By Peter A. Greene - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Haggard combines his two most bankable stars-- Ayesha and Quartermain-- and it ought to be twice as much fun. The problem ultimately is that we know from page one that nothing is going to happen that might conflict with any of the history established for these characters in their other books. Particularly in Ayesha's case that's mighty limiting-- we know that Allan is going to pass through her life without making any particular mark, because all the significant people in her life are already accounted for. Consequently, the work doesn't really show anything new about either character, and instead of two great prizefighters duking it out, we get a couple of characters dancing around trying not to make a mark on each other. Still the basic two-fisted Anglo-Saxon hambone adventure that Haggard does so well, but there's a little less zip in this outing.

The Material World versus The Spirit 16 Aug 2007
By Glen V. Mcintyre - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Allan quatermain is the iconic white hunter. He can and has tracked his way across Africa into lands unknown to most white men.
She (also known as "She Who Must be Obeyed) is the eternal seductress, the half goddess/half woman who cannot die. SHE is the ultimate in the spirit world.
Allan, perhaps, can be seen as the ultimate in the world we call reality.
She and Allan plays out this conflict between the material and spirit against the backdrop of the adventure of pushing into unknown darkest Africa.
Not as well known, or as well done as "King Solomon's Mines" or "She" -
then of course few books are-this is a worthwhile sequel to both.

The early adventures of Allan Quatermain and Umslopogaas 19 Feb 2008
By Aaron Crosby - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
In She and Allan, we see the coming together of three of the most exciting characters in all of H. Rider Haggard's novels. The ever intrepid Allan meets the great and grim Umslopogaas of the Axe, son of Chaka, and there is born an interesting and in some ways touching friendship between them, as they have both dealt with many of the same troubles and loss over the years. And of course they meet with the immortal SHE, Ayesha, whom they seek in order to see their loved ones that have passed the realm of death. Many of the same elements from much of the Allan Quatermain body of work is here. But it serves to tie the many things from the different novels together. Such as the friendship between Umslopogaas and Allan that we see in the novel Allan Quatermain. It also offers further insight into the origin's of Umslopogaas's great axe, Inkosikaas, which is in a way a Zulu version of Excalibur. A fantastic novel for anyone who enjoys Haggard's body of work. Great to read especially after reading Haggard's novel of the early life of Umslopogaas, Nada the Lily.

Different personalities actuate us at different times. In one hour passion of this sort or the other is our lord; in another we are reason itself. In one hour we follow the basest appetites; in another we hate them and the spirit arising through our mortal murk shines within or above us like a star. In one hour our desire is to kill and spare not; in another we are filled with the holiest compassion even towards an insect or a snake, and are ready to forgive like a god. Everything rules us in turn, to such an extent indeed, that sometimes one begins to wonder whether we really rule anything. &quote;

Rest is good, but for a man who has always led an active life too much of it is very bad, for then he begins to think and thought in large doses is depressing. &quote;
