English writer Mayne Reid is a recognized classic of adventure literature. The gripping plots of his works, which combine elements of westerns, detective fiction, mysticism, historical fiction, and romantic prose, were inspired by the events and places he encountered during his travels in the United States and Mexico, as well as during the Mexican-American War, in which he fought. Mayne Reid's heroes are courageous adventurers, hunters, travelers—people capable of strong emotions and willing to take risks and achieve great deeds in the name of love, justice, and freedom.
This edition, adorned with illustrations by masters of Soviet book graphics Pyotr Lugansky and Igor Ilyinsky, includes works that rank among Mayne Reid's finest.
The action of the novel "White Chief" unfolds against the backdrop of the fantastic landscapes of Northern Mexico, at a time when herds of wild bison roamed the pampas and Native American tribes roamed freely. This captivating tale of the thrilling adventures of the young hunter Carlos, whose mastery of horsemanship and bull taming, vividly demonstrated at the Feast of St. John, attracts the attention of the beautiful Catalina de Cruces—and engenders the envy of his influential rivals.
The novel "The Quadroon" tells the story of the forbidden love between the white explorer Edward and the quadroon Aurora. A feeling born under the generous Louisiana sun will help the lovers overcome numerous dangers, endure difficult trials and the bitterness of separation, and ultimately triumph over the prejudices and inhumane laws of slave society.
