Morning Star is a novel written by H. Rider Haggard, first published in 1910. The story is set in the 19th century in South Africa, and follows the adventures of Allan Quatermain, a famous hunter and explorer, and his companions as they search for a lost tribe and a hidden treasure.The novel begins with Quatermain receiving a letter from his friend, Sir Henry Curtis, asking for his help in finding a lost tribe known as the People of the Mist. The tribe is said to possess a vast treasure, and Curtis believes that finding them will make them all rich beyond their wildest dreams.Quatermain and his companions set out on a perilous journey through the African wilderness, facing many dangers along the way, including fierce tribes, wild animals, and treacherous terrain. As they get closer to their goal, they discover that the People of the Mist are not what they seem, and that their treasure is guarded by a powerful sorceress.The novel is full of action, adventure, and suspense, and is considered one of Haggard's best works. It explores themes of greed, power, and the dangers of colonialism, and features vivid descriptions of the African landscape and its people. Morning Star is a thrilling read for anyone who loves adventure stories and tales of exploration.They swore that it could not be true, for would this high lady, the anointed Pharaoh of Egypt, take her father's murderer, and her own uncle to husband? Would she not rather die in her prison tower on which night by night they had seen her stand and sing? In their hearts they thought that she should die, for thus they had summed her up.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
