A review by bookworm42
She: A History of Adventure by H. Rider Haggard

3.0

I have read a few reviews that discredited this novel for its racism. Don't get me wrong, its very racist; but context is essential here. This is written while Europeans are just exploring the inner content of Africa for the first time, it comes on the tales of the stories of Doctor Livingston and I think it intentionally mimics the style of those stories/journals. It is intentionally shocking, and graphic, because that was the type of story the people of the time wanted to read.
