"Salattu maa: Suurmetsästäjä Allan Quatermainin seikkailuja Keski-Afrikassa" by H. Rider Haggard is a novel written in the early 20th century. This work follows the legendary character Allan Quatermain, a skilled big-game hunter, as he embarks on thrilling adventures across Central Africa. The narrative likely intertwines themes of exploration, adventure, and encounters with both nature and indigenous cultures. At the start of the story, the reader is introduced to Allan Quatermain, who mourns the death of his son, Harry. Grieving and disillusioned with civilization, Quatermain decides to return to Africa, drawn by the memories of his adventures and a desire to immerse himself in the wilderness where he once thrived. He is soon joined by his old friends, Henry Curtis and Captain Good, as they plan a new expedition to explore uncharted territories, potentially searching for a legendary white civilization. This opening sets a somber tone of loss and longing, paving the way for the ensuing adventures in the wilds of Africa. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
