В литературе есть категория романов, которую смело можно заносить в Красную книгу. Потому что их тема – «белые пятна на карте планеты Земля».  «Копи царя Соломона» - книга, написанная в конце девятнадцатого века, относится к таким произведениям. Она – ярчайший представитель приключенческой литературы. Захватывающие, головокружительные ситуации, поиски сокровищ, дикие племена, не ведающие об огнестрельном оружии, злая колдунья… Ну, и, конечно, симпатичные, отважные, не знающие страха герои.
