Allan's Wife and Others


Book Description

During his years in Africa, it's said Haggard came to know and appreciate Zulu culture -- "intimately, as it were." It's said he had an affair with an African woman, and not just any sort of an affair, but the sort of affair that makes men mutter in retrospect about "profound relationships." That's the tale they tell on Haggard: that affair changed his portrayal of women. Even the psychologists got in on the act -- really, psychologists! Just ask Carl Jung, who used Haggard's "She" to exemplify "anima." Or not. Read these stories, we say, and see for yourself. Included here are "Allan's Wife," "Hunter Quatermain's Story," "A Tale of Three Lions," and "Long Odds."
