The story opens with reflective musings on mortality, symbolized by visions of the great white road and mysterious gates beyond.

Sir Henry Rider Haggard KBE was an English author best known for his adventure fiction and romantic novels, often set in exotic locations, particularly Africa. Born on June 22, 1856, in Bradenham, United Kingdom, he became a pioneer of the lost world genre. His works, including the famous King Solomon's Mines explored themes of adventure, discovery, and the challenges of survival. In addition to his writing, Haggard was involved in land reform across the British Empire, advocating for the rights of indigenous people. He was the son of William Meybohm Rider Haggard and Ella Doveton. Haggard's literary contributions made a lasting impact on the adventure genre, with his works remaining popular even after his death on May 14, 1925, at the age of 68 in London. He had two daughters, Lilias and Dorothy Rider Haggard. His ability to blend historical adventure with fantasy allowed him to capture the imagination of readers worldwide, cementing his legacy as one of the most influential writers of his time.
