Author Description

The Best, most complete version of this cult classic. Now in Large Print Edition First published in 1895, this work has survived as a cult book. It begins with an occult student who is surprised by a ghostly, uninvited guest. This guest comes to unveil his past as a member of a secret society that he betrayed. His punishment? A journey inside the hollow earth, gradually abandoning his humanity to become a keeper of knowledge and something else... A journey to ETIDORHPA. To say this is an early science fiction narrative would not suffice. To add that it is a fantastic story about an initiate's journey to the earth's interior, a compendium of scientific hypotheses ranging from geology to metaphysics, and an illustration of the miseries and hopes of men would be a better way to describe this singular work. This excellent narration contains multiple layers of interpretation. This Extended Edition includes: Three extra chapters from a 1901 edition (not found in other modern reprints!) Five pages of an incomplete Etidorhpa sequel by John Uri Lloyd. Fully illustrated with 65 black and white illustrations, including all illustrations from previous editions. Can you discover the hidden messages in Etidorhpa? About this Large Print Edition: Large print books are designed for those who have difficulty reading the regular-sized font.
