Adventure Novels You Need to Read Before You Die

Many fantastic adventure stories have been written over time, so to celebrate their popularity, we have highlighted a few which we think you absolutely need to read during your lifetime.

Ivanhoe, by Walter Scott

Ivanhoe is one of the first examples of a “historical novel.” Set in the 12th century and focusing on a Saxon noble family still intact after the Norman Conquest, this story is one of thrills and pure old-fashioned adventure.

King Solomon’s Mines, by H. Rider Haggard

This classic adventure novel created a template still used today, that of an Indian Jones adventure. Adventurer Allan Quatermain searches for a man who went missing while seeking the titular mines, but discovers plenty of danger and many kingdoms along the way.

Tarzan of the Apes, by Edgar Rice Burroughs

As one of the most famous books in the world, it has had many copycats after it. Imagine a character orphaned in the African jungle who is literally raised by apes to become king of the beasts later in life? Add plenty of blood and violence and you have a thrilling storyline.
