Angol
"Yea, all things live forever, though at times they sleep and are forgotten."
Magic, madness, and murder-and the legend of an undying sorceress-queen who rules over the lost kingdom of Kôr: This is the scarcely believable family history to which Leo Vincey finds himself heir, when he inherits an ancient relic and accompanying letter from his late father. To find out the truth for himself, Leo and his companions set sail for the coast of Africa. There, they come face to face with Ayesha, She-who-must-be-obeyed, a figure veiled in mystery who has waited for centuries for the return of her lost lover....
Combining action, adventure, and romance, She has enchanted generations of readers, from Freud and Jung to C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, ever since the runaway success of its initial publication in 1887.
