The Ring of the Queen of Sheba (1910)
An adventure novel with elements of mysticism. A young Englishman finds an ancient ring connected to the legendary Queen of Sheba.

The hero is awaited by dangerous journeys, riddles of the past, and trials of fate.
Henry Rider Haggard (1856–1925) is a classic of world adventure literature, Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire, publicist, politician, and an enthusiastic explorer, who was drawn to lost worlds all his life. His novels are still avidly read today, and Haggard's heroes evoke genuine admiration—they are brave conquerors of seas and unexplored lands, people of broad nature and strong character, ready to fight evil in the name of justice.
