Jess is a novel written by H. Rider Haggard, first published in 1887. The story revolves around a young girl named Jess who is orphaned at a young age and is left in the care of her cruel and abusive stepfather. She escapes from him and sets off on a journey to find her true father, who she believes is still alive.Jess faces many challenges on her journey, including dangerous animals, treacherous terrain, and hostile people. Along the way, she meets a variety of interesting characters, including a group of African warriors, a kind-hearted missionary, and a handsome young man named Allan Quatermain.As Jess continues her quest, she learns more about her father and the circumstances surrounding his disappearance. She also discovers her own strength and courage, and ultimately finds the love and acceptance she has been searching for.Haggard's writing is vivid and descriptive, bringing to life the African landscape and the various characters that inhabit it. Jess is a thrilling adventure story that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.What is the interpretation of it? Why does the great wind stir the deep waters? It does but ripple the shallow pool as it passes, for shallowness can but ripple and throw up shadows. We cannot tell, but this we know--that deep things only can be deeply moved. It is the penalty of depth and greatness; it is the price they pay for the divine privilege of suffering and sympathy. The shallow pools, the looking-glasses of our little life, know nought, feel nought. Poor things! they can but ripple and reflect.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
