Extended Description and Notes

Summary: "A dying colleague gives Mr. Horace Holly at Cambridge University a locked box, the contents of which lead Mr. Holly to travel to Eastern Africa where he hopes to solve an ancient mystery. During His journeys he is captured by the savage Amhagger people who are ruled by a fearsome white queen, who is worshipped as "She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed".

Synopsis

"She" is Ayesha, the mysterious white queen of a Central African Tribe-and the goal of three English gentlemen, who must face shipwreck, fever, and cannibals in their quest to find her hidden realm. First published in 1887, She has enthralled the imaginations of many-from Freud, who prescribed the book to one of his patients, to the generations of readers, who remain fascinated by the book's revealing and fantastic representations of dangerous women, adventuring men, and unexplored Africa. Available for the first time from Penguin Classics, this edition of one of the most famous works of popular literature includes a critical introduction, suggestions for further reading, and explanatory notes. Edited by Patrick Brantlinger.
