Doly krále Šalamouna - audiokniha CD
Jméno Allan Quatermain nejspíš není široké veřejnosti příliš známé. Naproti tomu Indiana Jonese, archeologa dobývajícího ztracenou archu, zná téměř každý. Málo se ale ví, že Allan Quatermain, hrdina románu Doly krále Šalamouna, byl inspirací pro postavu Indiana Jonese. Pokud vás bavila jeho filmová dobrodružství, jistě si užijete i jeho knižní eskapády. Budete obdivovat barvité popisy exotické Afriky, prožívat dobrodružství, napětí a vzrušení, budete svědky svízelné výpravy za pokladem v diamantových dolech i intrik ve smyšleném domorodém kmenu Kukuánů... Autor sice knihu napsal v roce 1885, ale svižný a čtivý styl psaní, zachycující částečně osobní zkušenost z let prožitých v Africe, činí knihu atraktivní i pro současné publikum.
