A Strange Manuscript Found in a Copper Cylinder: The Fantastic Tale of a Lost Civilization
Description
Four friends happen upon a strange copper cylinder which holds a bizarre and
wonderful manuscript. As they make their way through it, we are returned from
the narrative at points as they offer their thoughts and ideas about what is
written within. The tale within the cylinder was, we come to know, written by
one Adam More: a British Sailor who, on his return voyage home from Tasmania,
finds himself shipwrecked. Passing through a volcanic tunnel, More discovers a
lost society of death worshipers, whose antithetical values lie in direct
contrast with those of the civilized western world. Part love story, part
parable, part satire, and part fantasy, this often overlooked title serves as
a solid foundation upon which far more well-known books in this same vein, in
the following years and decades, were built. Read more
