H. Rider Haggard
The People of the Mist
H. Rider Haggard’s "The People of the Mist" is a thrilling lost-world adventure that takes the reader into the heart of a hidden African civilization. The story follows a young Englishman, Leonard Outram, and his Zulu companion, the wise and brave Otter. Leonard is down on his luck, seeking a fortune to restore his family's lost estates. They hear a legend of a remote, inland tribe, the People of the Mist, who are said to possess a vast treasure of priceless pearls. Their journey leads them through treacherous swamps and uncharted territories to a great plateau, where they discover a lost race who worship a terrifying and gigantic crocodile god. Leonard and Otter become embroiled in the tribe's political struggles, siding with the beautiful native queen, Olfan, against a cruel and powerful priesthood. To secure the treasure and their freedom, they must use their wits and courage to challenge the ancient god itself and outmaneuver the sinister priests in a series of deadly trials. H. Rider Haggard fills the narrative with action, danger, and the awe of discovering a forgotten culture, exploring themes of greed, loyalty, and cultural collision. It is a classic tale of Victorian adventure where two bold outsiders confront the mysteries and horrors of a savage, hidden world.
