There is a man who has lost his wife and daughter. He is the sole survivor in the accident and feels great guilt. And in this guilt, he begins to drink more and more each day. Then one day as the man was contemplating suicide, a stranger named Joren comes along and tells him not to worry. He tells him of reincarnated souls, of a life beyond the mortal one, and he teaches the man to transcend his physical body. But will he like what he finds on the other side?
H. Rider Haggard was an English author known for his fantastic adventure stories as well as his sympathetic portrayal of native peoples. He is best known for creating the fictional character Allan Quartermain. A character that has been resurrected as a comic book hero in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Sean Connery played the role of Allan Quartermain in the film adaptation of the comic. The Mahatma and the Hare is considered one of Haggard's more existential pieces.

reviewed The Mahatma and the Hare on April 23, 2011 The Mahatma and the Hare
Let this be a lesson to those reading reader comments. When I started up here, I went through back lists of books that were handy and sort of transcribed little notes and impressions I remembered from my first read. I wrote:
"I love a sequel, so when this came out, there was no doubt I was going to buy it.
Certainly a fine book, but not quite as fine as The Front Runner."
Since 1996, however, I lived a bit of life. Like, lost a partner and a dozen or two friends to AIDS, got diagnosed with it myself, clawed my way out of my thirties, etc. And recently, for no reason better than that the book-gods directed me to it, re-read Harlan's Race. What the hell was I thinking all those years ago?
Perhaps what makes this book remarkable to me is what I could bring to the table now that I lacked in 1996. The fact is, it spoke with a voice that echoed voices I've known about times I've known in a way that very much hit home. It's good suspense, of course, but what stands out for me is the way it convey's the emotional feel of characters in a certain situation in at certain time when adversity forced growth.
Probably I just needed to grow up a bit. (26 Aug 12)
