A Strange Manuscript Found In A Copper Cylinder

Viac o knihe

Set in an imagined semi-tropical continent in Antarctica, this satirical and fantastical romance features prehistoric monsters and a mysterious group known as the Kosekin, who worship death. The narrative predates the "Lost World genre," influencing later works by authors like Arthur Conan Doyle and Edgar Rice Burroughs. Written before its posthumous publication in 1888, it draws inspiration from Edgar Allan Poe's writings, particularly in its title and setting, creating a unique blend of adventure and introspection.
