There are ruins in Africa called Zimboe, or Zimbabwe. According to scientists, there was once a thriving Phoenician city here. This hypothesis formed the basis of the most fascinating historical narrative by G.R. Haggard "Elissa, or the Death of Zimboe". Many seemingly insurmountable obstacles separate Prince Aziel, the grandson of King Solomon, and the high priestess Baaltis Elissa. And yet, after kaleidoscopically successive events, they unite only to be separated immediately, forever: Elissa sacrifices herself to save her lover. The collection also includes the story “Maiva’s Revenge” from the series of novels and stories about the hunter Allan Quartermain, the hero of “The Mines.” King Solomon." Both stories are being translated into Russian for the first time.
