Audible制作部より
After losing his estate, bankrupt Englishman Leonard Outram seeks a new fortune in Africa. Outram and his Zulu cohort rescue a young Portuguese woman from a slave camp, then head off with her to find a lost race possessed of wealth in the form of jewels. The People of the Mist is a typical work by Sir Haggard, who engages in the Victorian penchant for native exotica while trying to depict natives as intelligent and relatable people. Alton Lennard narrates this audiobook in a weighty and measured manner. His tone discovers and enhances the novel’s stealthy pace and honed prose. Sir Haggard excelled at describing minute action. Lennard’s careful diction highlights small, progressive details so that the action seems thoughtful as well as dynamic.
