Mopo, the aged servant who helped kill the Zulu king Chaka, tells his story to a white listener: Chaka’s boyhood and his rise to bloody power, Mopo’s flight and return, and the fate of his daughter Nada, the most beautiful woman in Zululand, and Umslopogaas, the warrior raised as her brother. Its picture of Africans is that of a colonial writer of 1892.
A dark, epic novel that Haggard thought among his best, and the origin story of Umslopogaas from Allan Quatermain. Download the free EPUB.
