About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Heart of the World by H. Rider Haggard. Read by Paul Hansen. H. Rider Haggard wrote Heart of the World in 1895 and it tells of the search for a secret and hidden Mayan civilization living in a long lost city filled with gold and jewels! It is also a love story of a couple willing to give up everything, and I mean EVERYthing, for true love. And it is a melodramatic adventure story of good against evil. I am not sure which side wins... however it is a wonderful read! (Description by Paul Hansen)
