Summary

One of the best-selling books of all time, with over 100 million copies sold in 44 different languages. The novel was extraordinarily popular upon its release and has never been out of print.

Follow the journey of Horace Holly and his ward, Leo Vincey, to a lost kingdom in the African interior. There they encounter a primitive race of natives and a mysterious white queen named Ayesha who reigns as the all-powerful "She", or "She-who-must-be-obeyed". In this work, Rider Haggard developed the conventions of the Lost World subgenre, which many later authors emulated.

This is the blueprint for the Indiana Jones series.

Poor narration

Good story written according to its time. Narration is pretty dire though. Toby Stephens, who narrated King Solomons Mines, was far better

Terrible narration

I looked forward to listening to this but couldn't finish it. Even increasing the speed couldn't improve on the performance. I've poorly rated the story; this may be a little unfair as the narration irritated me.

Just wrong!

First of all, whoever thought of using an American to voice this most English of authors? It just sounds utterly wrong and unbelievable. Apart from the accent, the narrator's voice is dull and he makes no attempt to differentiate between characters. The sound level varies. I wish I hadn't wasted my money on this and I hope that whoever reads this will take note.

Classic of its time, sometimes uncomfortable

This...is a ...classic book from....a time...when racial stereo...typing...was common and...women were...the weaker....sex.
If...you are wondering...why I...am writing like...this...we'll...this is...how the book is...narrated. So annoying and distracting. I don't think I will last till the end.
