If you are thinking Debra Kerr, you will be shocked. • • • • • (bewertet mit 5 von 5 Punkten) Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen Rezension bezieht sich auf: Collins classics: King Solomon's Mines (Taschenbuch) This is a review of the unabridged audio of "King Solomon's Mines" by H. Rider Haggard; narrated by John Richmond. I grew up on the movie so it was quite a shocker to read the book. As stated in the beginning, there are no petticoat women in this book. It is a men's adventure written by a man for men. You cannot miss the hand of H. Rider Haggard as he has a unique sense of humor that pops up at the strangest times. In addition, as with written stories this one is much more intricate than the movie adaptations. You will find white people must have built many assumptions of the time such as any complex construction and natives on their own may turn savage. Allan Quartermain tells the story in first person. Nevil is off to make his fortune by finding King Solomon's lost diamond mines. Allan sends him a map to help. This is the last anyone heard from Nevil. Turns out that Nevil is really the estranged brother of Henry Curtis. Sir Henry Curtis now wants to make amends and he with his friend Captain John Good, bribe Allan Quartermain to take them across an endless desert and trough impassible mountains to an adventure that will hold you to the very end. Along with them is their self-imposed helper Umbopa who carries a secret of his own. An added plus is narration by John Richmond; He brings the characters to life and adds to the mystique that this story has been passed down. King Solomon's Mines Eine Rezension von Ein Kunde vom 7.
