Replete with the magic and romance of that fantastical lost land, this replica of the first 1926 edition includes all of the original maps, photos, charts, and illustrations, and discusses: the differences between Atlantean and other histories, why Plato's narrative of the realm was not allegorical, the numerous historical references to and proofs of the reality of Atlantis, the geography of Atlantis, the inhabitants of and early human society in Atlantis, the kings of Atlantis, corroboration of the existence of the realm in British literature, Atlantean culture, religion, and traditions, and much, much more.
