lbrex's review against another edition
4.0
I've read this before, but there are aspects of it that fascinate me. Off the top of my head, there are two things:
1) Haggard and Lang collaborated on this. Both men are interesting writers on their own, and Lang certainly played a crucial role in promoting Haggard's romances. Despite their close ties, Haggard and Lang have very different interests and styles in some ways, and this book is a bizarre turn for both of them.
2) The crossover between the book of Exodus and the Odyssey. Who knew that Odysseus, after his second voyage, ended up in Egypt looking for Helen of Troy? That that Pharaoh's wife would become obsessed with him? Haggard and Lang knew this!
Check it out! It's certainly better than a number of Haggard's other works...
