"Нада" - один из интереснейших романов Генри Райдера Хаггарда (1856-1925), к сожалению, крайне мало издававшийся на русском языке. Африка. Зулусы. Дикая природа. Борьба племен. "- Хорошо, Moпo, теперь я скажу тебе мое имя. Меня зовут Чека, я сын Сенцангакона, и мое племя зовут амузулусы. Я тебе скажу еще что-то. Теперь я маленький мальчик, и мое племя - маленькое племя, но придет время, когда я вырасту такой большой, что голова моя будет теряться в облаках, ты будешь смотреть вверх и не увидишь ее. Лицо мое ослепит тебя, оно будет сиять, подобно солнцу, а племя мое возрастет одновременно со мной и наконец поглотит весь мир. Слушай меня! Когда я стану великим и мое племя со мной возвеличится, тогда я припомню, как однажды лангени отказали дать мне с матерью ковш молока, чтобы утолить жажду. Ты видишь этот ковш. За каждую каплю, которую он может содержать, будет пролита кровь человека - кровь одного из ваших соплеменников. Но за то, что ты, Moпo, дал мне воды, я пощажу тебя, одного тебя, Moпo, и возвеличу тебя..."

Африка, первая половина XIX века. Дар ясновидения тяжким бременем пал на плечи Рейчел Доув, дочери сурового английского миссионера. Страшный сон, из которого она узнала, что может повелевать жизнью и смертью, насторожил девушку, но бойцовский характер взял свое. Если этот дар изменит не только личную жизнь, но и жизнь вокруг, разве воспользоваться им грех? Нужно только верно распорядиться этим даром… В очередной том Г.Р. Хаггарда включена остросюжетная зулусская дилогия, косвенно примыкающая к циклу об Аллане Квотермейне. Роман "Нада" подсказал Редьярду Киплингу идею его будущей истории о Маугли, человеке, выросшем в волчьей стае. Сюжет второго романа, "Короли-призраки", Хаггард и Киплинг разрабатывали уже вместе. Роман "Короли-призраки" на русском языке публикуется впервые.
