Haggard was an early 20th century British writer. He favored adventure stories set in exotic surroundings. Although Haggard is best known for his book King Solomon's Mine, this tale of adventure, romance and fantasy is by far one of his better works. Umslopogaas is a Zulu warrior in love with the beautiful Nada the Lily. Umslopogaas must flee for his life. During his adventures he is taken by a lion and then rescued by the king of the army of ghost-wolves. With the help of their weapons, Groan-Maker and the club Watcher of the Woods, they fight for glory and honor.

Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Nada the Lily is set at the time of Chaka, the Zulu king, around whom much of the action turns, but essentially the book is the story of Umslopogaas, and of his love for Nada, the most beautiful of Zulu women. They have been brought up as brother and sister but Umslopogaas is really Chaka s son. It is narrated by Mopo the father of Nada and witch doctor to Chaka, whom Chaka had vowed never to slay because he saved the life of Chaka and his mother when they were outcast wanderers.

Nada the Lily: Sompseu: For I will call you by the name that for fifty years has been honoured by every tribe between Zambesi and Cape Agulbas,&mdash I greet you! Sompseu, my father, I have written a book that tells of men and matters of which you know the most of any who still look upon the light therefore, I set your name within that book and, such as it is, I offer it to you. If you knew not Chaka, you and he have seen the same suns shine, you knew his brother Panda and his captains, and perhaps even that very Mopo who tells this tale, his servant, who slew him with the Princes. You have seen the circle of the witch-doctors and the unconquerable Zulu impis rushing to war you have crowned their kings and shared their counsels, and with your son&#39 s blood you have expiated a statesman&#39 s error and a general&#39 s fault. Sompseu, a song has been sung in my ears of how first you mastered this people of the Zulu. Is it not true, my father, that for long hours you sat silent and alone, while three thousand warriors shouted for your life And when they grew weary, did you not stand and say, pointing towards the ocean: " Kill me if you wish, men of Cetywayo, but I tell you that for every drop of my blood a hundred avengers shall rise from yonder sea!" Then, so it was told me, the regiments turned staring towards the Black Water, as though the day of Ulundi had already come and they saw the white slayers creeping across the plains. Thus, Sompseu, your name became great among the people of the Zulu, as already it was great among many another tribe, and their nobles did you homage, and they gave you the Bayete, the royal salute, declaring by the mouth of their Council that in you dwelt the spirit of Chaka. Many years have gone by since then, and now you are old, my father. It is many years even since I was a boy, and followed you when you went up among the Boers and took their country for the Queen. Why did you do this, my father I will answer, who know the truth. You did it because, had it not been done, the Zulus would have stamped out the Boers. Were not Cetywayo&#39 s impis gathered against the land, and was it not because it became the Queen&#39 s land that at your word he sent them murmuring to their kraals (1) To save bloodshed you annexed the country beyond the Vaal. Perhaps it had been better to leave it, since " Death chooses for himself," and after all there was killing&mdash of our own people, and with the killing, shame. But in those days we did not guess what we should live to see, and of Majuba we thought only as a little hill! Englisch, Ebook.
