Written in 1885 by Sir H Rider Haggard, it immediately became a best seller.
The story is about a group of explorers who are searching in a remote part of Africa for the brother of one of the party, led by Allan Quartermain.
At the time of publication, exploration to remote parts of the world was in its prime and this book was the first to reflect this and therefore set the standard.
