Description

Description from Project Gutenberg (opens in a new tab)

"She" by H. Rider Haggard is a Gothic novel published in 1887. The story follows Cambridge professor Horace Holly and his ward Leo Vincey on a perilous journey into the African interior, where they seek a lost kingdom. There they encounter the Amahagger people and their mysterious ruler—a powerful white sorceress named Ayesha, known as "She-who-must-be-obeyed." Possessing immortality and supernatural powers, Ayesha has waited over two thousand years for her lost lover's return. A groundbreaking work that established conventions of the lost world genre.
