Bücher von William Reed

From the preface: "The manuscript was written to preserve, for the writer's own satisfaction, a record of a valuable personal experience. As it grew under his hand, old memories were quickened, old comnpanionships seemed to be renewed, former scenes were revived, and the splendid examples of heroism which were daily and hourly witnessed kindled an impulse which has resulted in this work."

The Phantom of the Poles is a science fiction novel written by William Reed and published in 1906. The book is based on the idea that the Earth is hollow and that there are openings at the North and South poles that lead to a central interior world. The story follows the journey of a group of explorers who set out to investigate these openings and discover what lies within. The protagonist of the novel is an American naval officer named John Cleves Symmes Jr., who is convinced that the Earth is hollow and that there is a vast interior world waiting to be explored. He sets out on an expedition to the North Pole with a team of scientists and adventurers, including his own son. As they journey deeper into the polar regions, they encounter strange phenomena, including a mysterious polar aurora, a strange magnetic force, and a series of underground caves. Eventually, they discover the entrance to the hollow Earth and make their way inside. Inside the hollow Earth, they find a strange and wondrous world, filled with exotic flora and fauna, as well as a highly advanced civilization of beings known as the ""Smoky God."" The Smoky God are said to be the descendants of the lost continent of Atlantis and possess technology far beyond anything seen on the surface world. The Phantom of the Poles is a classic work of early science fiction that explores themes of exploration, adventure, and the unknown. It is a fascinating glimpse into the imagination of a bygone era and a testament to the enduring appeal of the hollow Earth theory.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
