Henry Rider Haggard belongs to the writers of the so-called apotheotic romanticism with its special ethics, implying the spiritual and emotional renewal of man. Perhaps this is precisely what our pragmatic age lacks, and therefore Haggard’s books, which were published at the turn of the 19th-20th centuries, are read by millions of our contemporaries all over the world. The author of famous adventure novels such as “King Solomon’s Mines”, “Allan Quartermain”, “The Ivory Child”, “The Sacred Flower” was no stranger to the theme of eternal femininity, immortal unfading beauty, to which he dedicated the mystical trilogy about Aisha - The one whose word is law, unpredictable, beautiful, doomed to eternal loneliness... On his twenty-fifth birthday, Leo Vincey, according to his father's will, must open the mysterious casket left by him. It contains ancient scrolls, a shard of pottery and a letter that talks about the centuries-old secret of Vincy's ancestors. The answer lies in the wilds of East Africa, where Leo is heading in the company of Professor Horace Holly. They are captured by the natives, who are ruled by the mysterious Queen Aisha. “If you believe the rumor, She is immortal and has power over all things”... The volume includes the novels “Aisha”, “The Return of Aisha”, “Daughter of Wisdom” (the novel is published in Russian for the first time). The book is illustrated with magnificent classic drawings by Maurice Greifenhagen and Charles Kerr.
