Along the way, Quatermain and his companions become embroiled in the conflict between the warring tribes and must use their skills and wits to survive. The novel is filled with action, suspense, and vivid descriptions of the African landscape and culture. It also touches on themes of colonialism, race relations, and the clash between modern civilization and traditional ways of life. Overall, Maiwa's Revenge is a thrilling and thought-provoking adventure story that has stood the test of time.About four o'clock, however, Gobo woke me up, and told me that the head man of one of Wambe's kraals had arrived to see me. I ordered him to be brought up, and presently he came, a little, wizened, talkative old man, with a waistcloth round his middle, and a greasy, frayed kaross made of the skins of rock rabbits over his shoulders.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
