Haggard, H. Rider: Haggard Anthology Vol 6. v4. 7th Mar 2010
H. Rider Haggard more or less single-handedly invented the genre of the "Lost Civilisation" fantasy novel, and this 6th volume of my anthology contains four very different examples of such novels - including a book which is my favourite Haggard novel and which would very definitely appear on my "top 10 books" list.
The books are: 1. The People of the Mist A lost African civilisation and a monstrous crocodile god. 2. Heart of the World A golden Mayan city under a lake and - you've guessed it - a lost civilisation. 3. Queen Sheba's Ring Yet another lost civilisation in Africa, this time descended from ancient Abyssinian Jews. 4. When the World Shook This is my favourite Haggard book - a wonderful fantasy which has it all. In this one, suspended animation brings into the present day a super-ancient Atlantean civilization. Spirit travel, reincarnation, occult powers, teleportation, subterranean city, elixir of life, etc etc. Enjoy! EDIT: 30 Mar 08 Recreated the book with greatly improved formatting, dashes preserved, etc. Uploaded v2. EDIT: 4 Oct 08 Replaced "When the World Shook" by a better HTML version newly-released by PG. Uploaded v3. EDIT: 7 Mar 10 Corrected HTML errors. Minor formatting improvements. Replaced the cover image. Uploaded v4.
