Description

H. Rider Haggard’s She is one of the great adventure stories of the Victorian era — a tale of an ancient, immortal queen hidden in the African interior, and the men who dare to find her. It has never gone out of print, and for good reason.

Published in 1887, the novel follows the Cambridge scholar Horace Holly and his ward Leo Vincey on an extraordinary journey into the uncharted heart of Africa, guided by a mysterious shard of pottery and a centuries-old family legend. What they find there is Ayesha — She-who-must-be-obeyed — a woman of terrifying beauty and absolute power who has waited two thousand years for a man she believes to be her reincarnated lover. The book is equal parts lost-world adventure, gothic romance, and philosophical puzzle, and it moves at a pace that still grips readers today. Haggard wrote it, famously, in six weeks on a bet — and it shows, in the best possible way.

This is a clean, carefully typeset edition in PDF form of the complete text, formatted with the bookbinder in mind. The margins, type size, and layout have been considered so that the finished pages sit well in the hand and look right on a shelf. The work is in the public domain. What you’re paying for are the hours of typesetting work that went into making this ready to print and bind.

Please note that this book and it’s illustrations are in the public domain in Norway. Make sure that it is in the public domain in your country before buying.

Make sure to print on A4 paper, duplex with flip on the short edge. Printing Letter sized paper should work, you would scale it down to fit and get a bit smaller end result. I have included the whole book in one big file, and also every section separate.
