Synopsis "Ella: Una Historia de Aventuras (in Spanish)"

Ella, una historia de aventuras es uno de los clásicos de la literatura imaginativa con más de 83 millones de copias vendidas en 44 idiomas diferentes, uno de los libros más vendidos de todos los tiempos. La historia es una narración en primera persona que sigue el viaje de Horace Holly y su pupilo Leo Vincey a un reino perdido en el interior de África. Allí, se encuentran con una raza primitiva de nativos y una misteriosa dama blanca, Ayesha, que reina como la todapoderosa Ella o La que debe ser obedecida. En este trabajo, Rider Haggard desarrolló las características del subgénero de «mundos perdidos» que muchos autores como Lovecraft, Tolkien y Bulwer Lytton emularon posteriormente.

La novela explora temas de autoridad y comportamiento femenino. Ha recibido elogios y críticas por igual por su representación de género de la mujer. Extraordinariamente popular desde su lanzamiento, nunca ha estado fuera de impresión desde su primera publicación en 1887 y se considera uno de los libros clásicos del género de aventura y fantasía.

Sir Henry Rider Haggard (1856–1925) was a prolific British novelist, a pioneer of the adventure genre, and known for his stories set in Africa and ancient Egypt. Born in Bradenham, Norfolk, he was the son of a lawyer and a writer. After studying at Ipswich high school and working in South Africa as the secretary to the governor of Natal, Haggard returned to England in 1882. There, he wrote a story about the Zulus and prepared to enter the Bar, although his literary career soon eclipsed his legal practice.

His greatest success came with King Solomon's Mines (1885), an African adventure novel that introduced the character Allan Quatermain. This book marked the beginning of the "lost worlds" subgenre and was followed by She (1887), which became a classic of fantasy literature. The protagonist of She, Ayesha, was cited by Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung as a prototype of the feminine.

Throughout his career, Haggard wrote more than 60 novels, many of them set in Africa or other parts of the British Empire. His work influenced later writers such as Rudyard Kipling and Edgar Rice Burroughs. He was knighted in 1912 for his services in the agricultural reform of the British Empire. He died in 1925 in London and was buried at St. Mary's Church in Ditchingham, Norfolk.

Although his novels reflect the imperialist ideals of his time, they also show a remarkable sympathy towards the native African populations, which distinguishes them from other colonial works of his time.
