Unknown Author

4.9/5 (19157 ratings)

Description:"Now in this island of Atlantis there was a great and wonderful empire which had rule over the whole island and several others, but there occurred violent earthquakes and floods, and in a single day and night it disappeared into the depths of the sea.” ~ Plato, Timaeus andCritias Atlantis tales were one of the most popular Lost World sub-genres of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. You could argue that it’s still the most popular Lost World sub-genre today. Plato’s tale of a sunken world has spawned countless books, films and TV shows. The survivors of that sunken continent appeared to have scattered to every corner of the globe, founding new civilizations on every continent, in isolated jungles, underground, or beneath the waves. This Masterworks of Adventure anthology is a collection of 12 tales considered to be among the best and most influential works. We started with 333: A Bibliography of the Science-Fantasy Novel, by Crawford, Donahue and Grant (1953), which lists the best works published before 1950, then cross-referenced them with Science-fiction, the Early Years by Everett Franklin Bleiler and Jessica Amanda Salmonson’s Lost Race Check Guide, the ultimate checklist for collectors. You’ll find stories told in a variety of styles: adventure, dystopian, dark fantasy, philosophical adventure and pulp fiction. Some have been made available for Kindle for the very first time and are exclusive to ROH Press.

Will you like every tale in this collection? Maybe, maybe not. Tastes are personal. But there is a lot to choose from! A few tales of note: The Lost Continent by C. J. Cutcliffe Hyne is considered by many to be the ‘ultimate tale’ of ancient Atlantis; Bleiler, considered Atlantida by Pierre Benoit to be the best of the early Atlantis tales; Salmonson gave The Toll of the Sea a hearty thumbs up (I agree, it’s been unjustly forgotten!) and if you prefer some philosophy (or a lot) with your adventure, H. Rider Haggard’s When the World Shook may be the way to go. Two novels in this anthology were written by women: Claimed! by Gertrude Barrows Bennett, an excellent fast-paced dark fantasy tale, and Fugitive Anne by Rosa Campbell Praed, one of the rare novels in the genre with a female protagonist. For those of you who want pure pulp, check out City of Wonder and The Treasure of Atlantis. There’s enough here to keep you entertained for quite a while. Enjoy!
