Synopsis

The dwarf saluted and went. "Ah!" he said to himself as he waddled down the hill where he hoped to find game, "ah! you do not fear men dead or living--overmuch; yet, Otter, it is true that you are better here in the sun, though the sun is hot, than yonder in the cave. Say, Otter, why does Baas Tom look so awful now that he is dead--he who was so gentle while yet he lived? Cheat did not look awful, only uglier. But then you killed Cheat, and the Heavens killed Baas Tom and set their own seal upon him. And what will Baas Leonard do now that his brother is dead and the Basutos have run away?

quite exciting, though not as good as She or Solomon 18 Nov 2010

By John Hopper TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE

Format:Paperback

This had exciting parts interspersed with somewhat duller episodes, though the climax of the main plot was as gripping as anything else I have read by the author. I found the main two characters unsympathetic and the black servant Otter tby far the most likeable character (followed by the priest Francisco). Otter accompanies the hero and his bride back to England at the end, but even though they obviously like him and even admire him to some extent, they still treat him like a well loved pet dog rather than a fellow human. A sign of the times of course and the attitude towards Africans here is not as negative as in some other works of the time, but sad even so.

Better than "The Temple of Doom" 24 Jan 2011

By Susan

Format:Kindle Edition

This would be great made into a big Hollywood tongue in cheek adventure movie. We have the rugged hero, whose brother dies in his arms. We have the heroine taken by slave traders and rescued thanks to the machinations of her mysterious nurse. There is fantastic scenery, an amazing idol, a giant crocodile and an amazing escape on a stone bobsleigh. Good boy's own adventure stuff. Dated, of course, in its attitude to race but a fun read. If you enjoyed other H Rider Haggard books like Allan Quatermain you will enjoy this.

The People of the Mist 14 Nov 2010

By nia

Format:Kindle Edition

I haven't read this author for many years but have suddenly realized how descriptive his writings are of Africa. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can't wait to re-read some of his others. It makes me realize that some of the authors of the past have more umph in them that some of the modern novels.

A good read

You've probably got to like Rider Haggard and his genre (e.g. John Buchan) to like this, as the language is late Vicorian and the views expressed are consequently of that era and... Read more

Prejudice is a strong thing, and when it is heightened by suspicion and jealousy, especially jealousy of the unacknowledged kind, it becomes formidable, both to him who entertains it and to him against whom it is entertained. &quote;

fortune never gives with both hands, as the French say, but loves to rob with one while she bestows with the other. To few is it allowed to be completely miserable, to none to be completely happy. &quote;

The grass of the field and the sand of the desert are more powerful than Babylon; they were before her, they are after her; and so it is with everything physical and moral in their degrees, for here rules a nurse whom we human children must obey at last, however much we may defy her. &quote;
