A great work of fantastical adventure-of a world within our world
At the end of the nineteenth century and the first part of the
twentieth century fantastical tales of other worlds and times began
to grip the imaginations of the reading public, and the prolific
output of authors such as Verne, Rice Burroughs, Haggard and Howard
propelled the authors to public recognition and their works to
abiding popularity. These were among the best known authors of this
genre at the time but they were by no means alone in their
endeavours or in their choice of subject matter. Off world
destinations-whether real or imagined-were popular as were
adventures set in fictional pasts and the exotic legendary cultures
of the Atlantean age. Having considered the potentials of time and
space it was perhaps inevitable that authors would turn their
imaginations to the possibilities of a world within our own-a vast
landscape hidden from view, alien in flora, fauna and cultures,
peopled by strange beings and races often at war with each other.
Fortunately, they also usually included the capacity to produce
human women of incomparable grace, beauty and an aversion to full
body covering. The many enthusiasts of this type of fiction will be
pleased to discover that this substantial novel is one of the above
and a roller coaster adventure to the last turn of the page. Join
this resourceful band of adventurers as they brave the ice to enter
a lush and verdant world, altogether primitive and yet able to
muster technology in advance of that yet known upon the surface.
Often recognised as one of the finest examples of its kind, the
enticing and other-worldly land of 'The Goddess of Atvatabar' lies
waiting for you to discover for yourself. Available in softcover
and hardcover with dust jacket for collectors.
