Это роман о туземцах, которые нередко были джентльменами, и о джентльменах, которые всегда оставались самими собой, но порой... А попробуй иначе, когда впереди гора алмазов, а вокруг Чертоги Смерти. Как уверяет бесхитростный рассказчик этой истории, охотник Квотермейн, в книге нет ни одной юбки, если не считать Фулаты, да еще Гагулы... Впрочем, была ли эта страшная женщина женщиной?.. Словом, лучше разобраться во всем самому, вернее, в компании с рассказчиком, человеком неглупым, а стало быть, осторожным, и двумя его приятелями-европейцами - гигантом, похожим на слона, и человеком со стеклянным глазом и двумя комплектами зубов. "Копи царя Соломона" - нестареющая классика приключенческого жанра. Роман неоднократно экранизировался (существует не менее 7 фильмов, несмотря на известность, весьма далеких от оригинала). Обаятельный образ главного героя повлиял на многих писателей и кинематографистов. Известно, например, что Индиана Джонс из фильмов Спилберга находится в некотором дальнем родстве с героем Хаггарда. Иллюстрированное собрание сочинений писателя открывают два романа из серии об Аллане Квотермейне: "Копи царя Соломона" и "Священный цветок".
