Rider Haggard is a novel published in the early 20th century, specifically in the early 1920s. The narrative revolves around the legend of the Incas of Peru, integrating historical elements and the mythos surrounding a White God who came from the sea. The main character, Hubert of Hastings, embarks on a journey of adventure and self-discovery, having been driven from his home and seeking both fortune and purpose amidst the historical upheaval. The opening of the novel introduces the editor's perspective, who details his fascination with antiquities and the story he wishes to share, which he has derived from a collection of relics. This includes a mysterious chest he encounters in the shop of an antiquary named Mr. Potts, which contains artifacts that hint at a grand tale of love and conflict in a time long past. As the narrative moves to Hubert's own account, we learn of his humble beginnings, loss, and the swirling chaos he faces as the French threaten his homeland, setting the stage for his heroic journey within the mysterious lands of Peruvian lore. The initial chapters lay a solid foundation for the blend of historical fiction and rich storytelling that follows.
