Set against the backdrop of Colonial Africa, the adventures of Allan Quatermain are inspired by the author's encounters with remarkable adventurers and the continent's rich mineral wealth and ancient ruins. Haggard's experiences as an assistant in Natal shaped his storytelling, leading him to explore themes of adventure, discovery, and social reform. His works reflect not only the allure of exotic locales but also a keen insight into agricultural and social issues, drawing from both African and European contexts.
