Love Eternal

О книге

Sir Henry Rider Haggard was an English writer of adventure novels set mostly in Africa, and a founder of the Lost World literary genre. Love Eternal is a story of young Godfrey Knight, the son of a puritanical parson, who lives in the Essex countryside. From childhood on, he and his neighbor, Isobel Blake, the daughter of a wealthy shipping magnate, have been strangely drawn to one another, although their natures are wholly dissimilar. Despite their fathers' many attempts to keep them apart, the two do unite in matrimony, but unfortunately, their earthly happiness is a short-lived one.
