This Halcyon Classics ebook is James De Mille's lost world novel A STRANGE MANUSCRIPT FOUND IN A COPPER CYLINDER.
This satiric and fantastic romance is set in an imaginary semi-tropical land in Antarctica inhabited by prehistoric monsters and a cult of death-worshipers called the Kosekin. Adam More, a British sailor is shipwrecked in Antarctica on a homeward voyage from Tasmania. After passing through a subterranean tunnel of volcanic origin, he finds himself in a "lost world" of prehistoric animals, plants and people sustained by volcanic heat despite the long Antarctic night. There, wealth is scorned and poverty is revered, death and darkness are preferred to life and light.
